Russia targets Ukrainian UAV ops centers with FAB-3000 bombs

Bottom line

Russian forces used FAB-3000 JDAMs to destroy underground Ukrainian UAV control centers, demonstrating the effectiveness of heavy guided bombs against hardened drone command nodes.

Why it matters

The use of heavy guided bombs against underground drone command nodes indicates a shift in Russian tactics to degrade Ukrainian drone operations at the source, requiring deeper or more dispersed command infrastructure.

Rybar and Intel Slava report that Russian VKS strikes with FAB-3000 JDAMs destroyed underground Ukrainian UAV control centers, including a former school in Kamyshevakha and a crossing near Oskil. Voenacher and Z.O.V. confirm the strike on the Kamyshevahe underground school, which was used as a UAV ops center and police HQ, killing at least 4 police officers. The strikes highlight the vulnerability of underground facilities to 3-ton bombs.
