The Russian military reported the use of laser-guided bombs by Ukrainian bomber drones.

A photo of the drone and the ammunition was published by the VictoryDrones Telegram channel.

A Ukrainian heavy multi-rotor drone was shot down by the Russian occupiers over their positions while it was looking for targets.

A corrected bomb with an optical guidance system was found on board on one of the suspensions.

The body of the high-explosive munition bears the marking BK-3OF and a serial number, which may indicate serial production.

In addition to its name, the notch on the case also indicates its purpose, which affects the formation of fragments of the same size.

An optical guidance device is installed in the nose of the BK-3OF ammunition. According to the author of the photo, the projectile is guided by a reflected laser beam.

In the aft part there are four aerodynamic rudders, which are supposed to set the direction of flight when the projectile hits the target.

It is known that the Ukrainian defense industry has long been working on adjusted ammunition to increase the effectiveness of drone bombers.

In particular, this type of weapon was developed as part of the innovative projects of the Brave1 military technology development cluster.

Currently, Ukrainian nighttime unmanned bombers remain one of the most effective means of destroying Russian equipment and personnel behind enemy lines. Depending on the modification, their range is 20-40 kilometers.

In addition to free-fall and now adjusted munitions, the bombers are also actively used for remote mining of roads in the frontline area, which significantly undermines the occupiers’ logistics.
