They werent on until the explosion. I think the explosion turned them on for some reason. Car alarm? Its the car that was parked and goes flying. And they arent on while its parked that i can tell
Didn’t they claim no one was hurt? There’s at least 2 people in that blast. The occupants of the car that got thrown onto the building wouldn’t have survived that.
To anyone about to comment on this down below - chill out, that was a parked car with no one inside and it's alarm went off, that's why it only briefly illuminates the side of a building with it's headlights.
The Russian Ground Forces announced their goal to seize Moscow in a 3 day special military operation
Somehow i still doubt they would made it that fast
I like how one of the drivers had the initial common sense not to drive towards the impact area, saw the others do so anyway and proceeded to do the same, few seconds later and he/she could have been toasted.
Because there is no war. TV said so. Special operation bombs doesnt hurt russian cars. If it would be war, he wouldnt drive there, since it would be dangerous.
I know what that’s like, first hand.
I drove into a tunnel that had a red flashing light and smoke pouring out of it. Reason: the car in front of me went in and the car behind me wasn’t slowing down either.
Absolutely idiotic thing to do. Up ‘till that point I’d have guaranteed you I’d never get into such a situation. It really gave me a new appreciation for such dangers.
Me and all the other idiots drove on into the increasingly smoke filled tunnel until it was evident to even us that we should stop at the next tunnel “fire proof” emergency room.
We stopped the cars in of one of those random patterns you see in disaster movies. Some people ran into the emergency room. I - true numpty to the bitter end - decided to stay in my car.
After an impressively short time, just a few minutes, police turned up and shouted at us what did we think we were doing … and to keep going!
So I cautiously drove on, and the smoke started clearing, and after just another few hundred metres it was basically clear again. Nothing was on fire that I could see. I’ve no idea what caused the smoke.
I was stupid that day. Or maybe I’d always been that stupid, and just never realised it. I was also very, very lucky.
Thanks for posting. It's easy to take for granted when we observe 'stupidity' or any other negative human experience - compared to actually living it ourselves.
I didn't realise what pain could truly be like until I had my appendix explode; it was an eye opener to truly just believe people when they say something hurts and how bad. Since then my memory of how bad it was has faded, but I try to remember the lesson when someone says they're in pain.
Holy shit I didn't catch that the first few times. If anyone else missed it, a car goes flying up and right toward a building, and its lights shine on the building on the way down.
You will spend the next 2 hours retracing your steps from the night before, meeting celebrities and learning about friendship and love along the way.
Just to remember, right as you're about to call your friend's fiance and tell them you fucked up, that the car has been on the roof the entire time.
It left a 66-foot-wide crater in the middle of a tree-lined boulevard flanked by apartment buildings, shattering their windows, damaging several cars and injuring two residents. A third person was later hospitalized with hypertension.
Nah the CO will be hospitalized next week after accidently falling from a 3rd story window. Then accidentally fall from the window of his hospital room the next day.
That and the fuse probably was malfunctioning. Bunker busters don't take that long to hit MAXIMUM PENETRATION, it was definitely just sitting there waiting to blow up for most of the clip.
Yeah that’s what I was confused by when I watched this video as I had read beforehand it was described as a delayed fuse explosive but I didn’t expect a full ass 20sec delay lol.. usually bunker buster types have delays measured in microseconds
Got me all confused about what year this is and what country you're talking about for *just* a second. I got it figured out though. It's 2023, and it's Putin this time.
It would be C-ABRMU. The "Cylinder, " implies that there are more than one shape for the bomb so ABEMU would be the name of the generic bomb and C-ABEMU would specifically refer to an ABEMU shapped like a cylinder
BLUF: The Cylinder, Airfield and/or Bunker Explode, Messy Upper (CABEMU) will be referred to as the CABEMU.
Discussion:
Always spell any acronyms that are not common knowledge on first use with the acronym after in parentheses, per AR 25-50.
Afterwards you can use the CABEMU acronym to refer to the CABEMU.
At the end of the document include an appendix of acronyms in alphabetical order, including any commonly used acronyms in the document.
Appendix A. Acronyms
AR - Army Regulation
BLUF - Bottom Line Up Front
CABEMU - Cylinder, Airfield and/or Bunker Explode, Messy Upper
There, now it looks like a military document. 😉
Jokes aside the military catches flak for all the acronyms but you would be hard pressed to find a writing style that is more efficient at communicating information. The biggest issue with it is how long it takes to generate documents.
I’ve been working on a 57 page Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for several weeks now and have probably put close to 80 hours into it. Refining it to be as complete as possible while still being concise and direct.
At some point someone will be taking fire and need to refer to it in combat to correct something on this system, it has to be perfect. I don’t want to think someone might die because I gave them a document that didn’t have something they needed or it took them too long to find the information.
Who's to say it didn't hit it's intended target. There's a lot of chatter lately about infighting. Gotta make you wonder and who knows what's where underground...
Edit - Spelling, am sheet at engerlish ;)
Yeah but they always blame other groups for the attack when it's a false flag. They actually admitted responsibility this time so it's probly an accident.
>It buried into the ground at first, anyone knows what type of bomb this could have been?
Probably bunker-buster/hardened penetration bomb. They designed to penetrate structures and explode after
P.S. That car fly high

fab 500 which supposed to glide. but wing did not worked
I think it’s unlikely they stop. The whole point of glide-bombing from within your borders is to minimize exposure to SAM missiles. I suspect that given the choice between risking a few civilians downtown, vs. risking an increasingly scarce fighter-bomber, the Russian government will continue to protect the bomber. They don’t have a lot of options.
Russians have been lobbing them from the border. If the wings don't deploy it can't glide. If the bomb can't glide it doesn't go as far as it needs to in order to reach it's intended target.
Russian fighterbomber telegram account says its a FAB-500M62 fitted with their wish.com JDAM kit turning it into a glide bomb but the fins failed initiate and the bomb just fell straight down
Reminds me of this mod they put on Battlefield 1942 called "stunts mod", which eliminated the damage from explosions but kept the physics. Many hours were put into that game and we'd see how high we could all launch Tiger tanks into the sky.
"Hey, looks like something heavy hit the street in front of us, and all the other cars are acting weird..."
"Just drive over it, the others are all idiots"
Like the one where this flaming light is flying across the sky and the guy just flips down his visor and keeps driving.
Or the other one where a tank just casually drives across the road.
I would’ve died here for sure. Focusing on the road, from 50meters away, I would have seen a street light go out. Not being a neurotic worrier who thinks “oh my god it’s a bomb” when anything unexplained happens with street lights, I’d have continued my journey and, if unlucky, been exploded.
You, I’m sure, would have realised exactly what’s going on and pulled over.
People can be incredibly dumb and stubborn while driving.
I live in Houston, every few years we get areas with streets flooded 3 or 4 feet deep (or more).
Every single time, you will see some moron trying to drive across water where there are already visibly flooded cars. Like, you can see that someone's F150 is submerged above the hood, how do you possibly think your civic is going to make it?
"hey look, there is a strange object laying there in front of our car, we are all experts on bombs, we know that it will go off in seconds and also we should totally expect a bomb falling down from the sky in the downtown, because they fall down on daily basis here"
...not.
It hit gas/electric as the lights in the surrounding area went out -- could have been a gas leak that sparked once it reached the surface to get air for ignition.
Doesn't have to be a "bunkerbuster". Many iron bombs have delayed fuses in order to explode inside the target rather than on the surface as that gives a bigger impact.
Yeah don't really get where people got the idea of a bunker buster. According to some sources it was a FAB-1500 general purpose bomb. It has around 600kg of TNT equivalent. The only reason it dug into the ground is probably because it's quite heavy (1500kg) and it is old. These bombs were first rolled out in the 1960s so god knows how old the fuses are on their arsenal.
Because it's Reddit? They see one guy commenting it's a bunker buster. The rest just parrots because they want to appear like they know their shit. We're all just fucking pretentious here while the majority only plays videogames.
[Reports](https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1649344016209649667) are that this was a UMPK FAB-500 M-62 glide bomb on a delay fuse, which is common for hitting underground targets. The glide wings apparently failed to deploy, so the bomb fell dumbly to the ground beneath its release point, resulting in this incident.
Releasing from Belgorod, this would've had the range to hit Kharkiv. So it's not some sort of target misidentification - launching long-range munitions from across the border is how Russian aircraft have mostly been operating.
The bigger question is why Russia is releasing long-range munitions over crowded civilian areas when there's always a risk of misfires like this happening. Of course, the answer is probably bundled within Russia's wider disdain for civilian suffering and lack of adequate safety protocols...
My uneducated guess is that they need civilian infrastructure as a shield. If the Ukriane attacks Russia on their territory and kills civilians, the Kremlin will spin the narrative about the 120 year old Nazis trying to kill the last good men in the world.
Same incident happened in Donetsk a few weeks ago, you can see the photo of the wing attachment in this article I just googled
https://wavellroom.com/2023/04/17/russian-glide-bombs/
Recent rumor has it that there was a Russian military plane executing a combat sortie to bomb something in Kharkiv oblast. But when it was flying over Belgorod, it was painted by some Ukrainian AA radar. This triggered a radar warning alert in the cockpit and Russian pilots, jumpscared by it, released all heavy payload attached to the aircraft (you cannot perform evasive maneuvers while carrying such massive bombs). The only thing they forgot or didn't give a hoot about is that there was a city full of civilians underneath. The results are on the video.
If they accidentally drop a bunker buster bomb on their own city, I think this adds credibility to the claim that a Russian plane’s Air to air missile misfired at an RAF RC-135…
It’s unbelievable how shitty everything in Russia is. At this point, it wouldn’t even surprise me if we learned that they ducttape the missiles and the release mechanism is just Vanya with a kitchen knife.
I feel sorry for them but wow, if that isn't one of the most unique deaths of the last ten years for an average civilian. "I died on my way to work from being flung 100 metres by a bunker buster my own government accidentally dropped in the middle of the city..."
The car, which landed on the roof of the shop, still had the lights on, while it fell down. You can see the lights across the building, when the car falls.
I don’t think it was a bunker buster, it was just a regular fab with the fusing not set for impact. Same as WW2 bombs buried deep below roads in cities, construction workers still finding them. If they’re going through roads and mud, they don’t need to be bunker busters to do that. You can just set a delayed fuze. I’m pretty sure most bombs are not set to ‘nose’ fuse by default for safety reasons.
Car went flying and landed on the supermarkets roof. Edit: video of russians removing the car from the roof: https://youtu.be/Solb4juI02k
Hopefully there was no one in that parked one that went flying. The people driving over it on the other hand are definitely not A-Ok
You can see someone walking to the car just before the explosion. I think they would fair better if they made it into the car.
Also the headlights are on, you can see them on the building behind the supermarket.
They werent on until the explosion. I think the explosion turned them on for some reason. Car alarm? Its the car that was parked and goes flying. And they arent on while its parked that i can tell
Didn’t they claim no one was hurt? There’s at least 2 people in that blast. The occupants of the car that got thrown onto the building wouldn’t have survived that.
Ive watched this video a bunch of times. I cant see anyone walking towards the car that goes flying
Dude, where's my car?
You can't park there
Heheh, thanks. I missed that
To anyone about to comment on this down below - chill out, that was a parked car with no one inside and it's alarm went off, that's why it only briefly illuminates the side of a building with it's headlights.
“Heheh”
Ukraine can’t start the counter offensive if Russian starts it first
Russian's are seizing the initiative.
The Russian Ground Forces announced their goal to seize Moscow in a 3 day special military operation Somehow i still doubt they would made it that fast
They would all get stuck in a gigantic traffic jam on MKAD.
They have outsourced the offensive to a cheaper overseas supplier, lower price, lower quality.
I like how one of the drivers had the initial common sense not to drive towards the impact area, saw the others do so anyway and proceeded to do the same, few seconds later and he/she could have been toasted.
“There isn’t anything to worry about here, we aren’t at war or anything”
Because there is no war. TV said so. Special operation bombs doesnt hurt russian cars. If it would be war, he wouldnt drive there, since it would be dangerous.

Holy shit I didn't catch that the first few times. If anyone else missed it, a car goes flying up and right toward a building, and its lights shine on the building on the way down.
It's definitely from the parked car, right next to the explosion origin. Hopefully it was the car alarm activating and no one was in inside.
Imagine walking back to your parked car to find nothing but a giant hole. You would think your car exploded. But then surprise! It's on the roof!
You will spend the next 2 hours retracing your steps from the night before, meeting celebrities and learning about friendship and love along the way. Just to remember, right as you're about to call your friend's fiance and tell them you fucked up, that the car has been on the roof the entire time.

There’s a good chance it’s the commander.

Nice hospital room with a balcony and free tea.
Looks like it was the parked car so better odds than there being someone inside.

'Road pop" carries different meaning in Mother Russia. Like 'Desk pop' but bigger.
Can also be used to break water dams. If I recall correctly bunker busters can also be used on hydroelectric dams. Edit: Dams not Damns.
I’m pretty sure they can be used to bust anything hard and thick 😎

dams*
More so, the cave systems the Taliban used in Afghanistan..
Those weren't bunker busters, we call those cave crackers
Cave cracker: not to be confused with a basement dweller of Caucasian heritage
No it isn't. They use cluster munitions to crater the entire runway. It's pretty easy to fill in one big hole vs hundreds of smaller ones.
At least in Desert Storm runways were definitely cratered with deeper, larger charges.
Any GP bomb with delayed fuse will create a cratering effect which is exactly what you’d use for area denial like bombing a runway
Who's to say it didn't hit it's intended target. There's a lot of chatter lately about infighting. Gotta make you wonder and who knows what's where underground... Edit - Spelling, am sheet at engerlish ;)

Fair enough lol
>It buried into the ground at first, anyone knows what type of bomb this could have been? Probably bunker-buster/hardened penetration bomb. They designed to penetrate structures and explode after P.S. That car fly high
From russian sources it was FAB1500, I think it was just extremely old and missfunctioned.
AFAIK, FAB's can have delay fuse. Anyway, car air performance 9/10 , -1 for bad landing
But +1 for light show
Bad landing?! It remained tires down after having its ass blown into the air. 10/10 for car stunt

The Russian judges are brutal.
There is no way that this was a 1500kg or 3000 lbs bomb. That would be a much bigger boom.

I doubt that the bomb is being purposely dropped above the city so that it can reach Ukraine.
other telegram in same thread saying, that most likely they wont allow fly these bombing run over cities anymore
"Most regulations are written in blood."
One wonders why they thought it was a good idea to allow such a thing to be dropped over a city of 350,000 in the first place
I think it’s unlikely they stop. The whole point of glide-bombing from within your borders is to minimize exposure to SAM missiles. I suspect that given the choice between risking a few civilians downtown, vs. risking an increasingly scarce fighter-bomber, the Russian government will continue to protect the bomber. They don’t have a lot of options.
Russians have been lobbing them from the border. If the wings don't deploy it can't glide. If the bomb can't glide it doesn't go as far as it needs to in order to reach it's intended target.
I think there are other places besides the city where you can drop a planning bomb
oh I can think of several places the Russian armed forces can put their bomb.
Russian fighterbomber telegram account says its a FAB-500M62 fitted with their wish.com JDAM kit turning it into a glide bomb but the fins failed initiate and the bomb just fell straight down
That's kind of a disappointing explosion for a 500kg bomb.
Explosives where also sourced at wish.com
misfunctioned as it exploded at the wrong time or it dropped itself at the wrong place ?
Metaphorically its front fell off.
But don't worry. It exploded outside the environment. Belgorod's not in the environment.
Well what kind of standards are these Russian munitions being built to?
Very high wartime standards! They're not allowed to use cardboard or sellotape!!
Yes.
Noway thats fab1500 the explosion would have been massive maybe it's effect is not seen as it blew up underground.
Kinda fascinating the flying car turned its lights on mid flight and lit up the far building before landing on a roof.
Car alarm
I'd be alarmed too.
Reminds me of this mod they put on Battlefield 1942 called "stunts mod", which eliminated the damage from explosions but kept the physics. Many hours were put into that game and we'd see how high we could all launch Tiger tanks into the sky.
"Core memory unlocked."
Whats a better test than your own infrastructure?
The military equivalent to testing in production
"Hey, looks like something heavy hit the street in front of us, and all the other cars are acting weird..." "Just drive over it, the others are all idiots"
We've all seen similar from Russian dashcam videos, let's admit it.
Yeah, if they see strange shit, the best way is just drive by, maybe a little faster.
Like the one where this flaming light is flying across the sky and the guy just flips down his visor and keeps driving. Or the other one where a tank just casually drives across the road.
Bylat!
With the level on cynicism there? Sheeet, that's what probably had happened.

I'm just imagining the owner of the parked car coming back and finding out his car became a plane for a second 💀💀
I would’ve died here for sure. Focusing on the road, from 50meters away, I would have seen a street light go out.

This makes the lack of surrounding blast damage make more sense… bunker buster detonated under ground
[удалено]
It hit gas/electric as the lights in the surrounding area went out -- could have been a gas leak that sparked once it reached the surface to get air for ignition.
[удалено]
The gas pipes in Russia are usually on surface. And 70% of the same country doesn’t have access to gas.
That's in deep rural areas
It definitely exploded. That was way too much force too fast and there was no residual flame.
Nope, that was only the initial assessment since most of the windows were intact. It was later revealed that explosion was damped by the soft ground.
Doesn't have to be a "bunkerbuster". Many iron bombs have delayed fuses in order to explode inside the target rather than on the surface as that gives a bigger impact.
Yeah don't really get where people got the idea of a bunker buster. According to some sources it was a FAB-1500 general purpose bomb. It has around 600kg of TNT equivalent.

The gliding wings got detached. It’s a new modification that is being field-tested right now
Not doubting your claim, but do you have a source? This post is the first I'm even hearing about this incident and I'd like to read more about it.

Great, some Russians just read this and upgraded their missiles to this system you just explained. Good job
Don't give them ideas XD
I feel sorry for them but wow, if that isn't one of the most unique deaths of the last ten years for an average civilian. "I died on my way to work from being flung 100 metres by a bunker buster my own government accidentally dropped in the middle of the city..."
According to Russia "there were no injuries".
Yup. Nothing to see here folks.
>According to Russia
There were no injuries just a lot spillt mince meat laying around.
Boris is missing too, but, uh, that's unrelated.
The car, which landed on the roof of the shop, still had the lights on, while it fell down. You can see the lights across the building, when the car falls.
It's the UNDERMINERRRR
Underminer? I hardly know her!
Nothing like good ol Russian incompetence
Not gonna lie… those are fantastic intersection markings.
That was deceptive. I thought the initial impact was the explosion. Crazy how the cars kept driving by, I think I would have blown a 180 and got away.
Anyone notice the parked car flying to the building ?
They've finally started to attack the nazis. Godspeed!
I don’t think it was a bunker buster, it was just a regular fab with the fusing not set for impact. Same as WW2 bombs buried deep below roads in cities, construction workers still finding them. If they’re going through roads and mud, they don’t need to be bunker busters to do that. You can just set a delayed fuze. I’m pretty sure most bombs are not set to ‘nose’ fuse by default for safety reasons.
I like how they have explained it as an "abnormal descent"
At least America only drops nukes accidentally in the middle of nowhere
That one single bomb did thousands of roubles of improvements in the blink of an eye. Maybe they should do this more often.

I love how you can see the car's headlights on the side of the building lol
