Kharkov and its surroundings have been a frequent target of attacks since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but in recent months their intensity has increased. The target of Russian strikes is energy and civil infrastructure. At the same time, Russia claims that it does not attack civilian objects.
The KAB-500KR is an optically guided bomb developed for the Soviet Air Force in 1980. It is designed to destroy stationary ground targets of small size, such as reinforced concrete bunkers, airstrips, railway and highway bridges.
Puma is not powered by any engine and the flight trajectory is regulated only by additional control ailerons. The penetrating head is capable of penetrating reinforced concrete up to 1.5 meters thick.
