Several clips capture FAB-3000s in action, which are some of the most powerful munitions in the series

New videos have shown glide bombs deployed by Russian aircraft destroying Ukrainian forces' positions in several areas on the front line.

The clips, posted by Telegram channels on Saturday and Sunday, capture the use of FAB (high explosive bomb) munitions in Ukraine's Kharkov Region and Russia's Kherson Region.

In one of the videos, a FAB-3000 is seen leveling a temporary deployment point for Ukrainian troops in the town of Kupyansk in Kharkov Region. The bomb is one of the most powerful in the series, weighing more than three tons and carrying explosives equivalent to almost 1.4 tons of TNT.

More footage, also from Kupyansk, shows a glide bomb striking an administrative building used as a command post by the Ukrainian military.

The other clips showcase glide bomb strikes against Ukrainian targets in the settlements of Burgunka, Berislav and Kutkovka in Kherson Region - including with smaller FAB-500 munitions.

The FAB series was designed in the Soviet Union to destroy enemy defenses and fortifications, as well as military industrial facilities. The bomb's strong case is capable of penetrating ceiling joists in multistory buildings while keeping it relatively intact.

Last year, the Russian military began outfitting its FAB bombs with Universal Correction and Guidance Modules (UMPK), which turn older free-fall munitions into high-precision weaponry. Some Western think-tanks and media outlets described the development as "a game changer on the battlefield."
