Ukraine: With artillery dwindling, Russians seem to turn to heavy bombs [1]

Russia is at a new deceptive (inane) record having lost 14000 pieces of artillery. www.newsweek.com/… (as of such?) Russia is now testing cruise missiles in the sea of Azov www.yahoo.com/… and in the polar region www.express.co.uk/… . Furthermore, Russia has tested or even used new super-heavy bombs.

In March, Russia's defense ministry announced increased production of the FAB-3000 — and several other munitions, like the 1,100-pound FAB-500 and 3,300-pound FAB-1500. All three of these can be modified and turned into glide bombs, but it was unclear whether the heaviest one would be an issue for aircraft to carry. Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War think tank said the use of the FAB-3000 bomb awards Russia a new weapon that carries a "high potential for destruction" if it can be launched with impunity.

In another interesting development, news broke that Russia infiltrated the Swedish SAT net. It could be that their (RUSSIA) systems are too antiquated and the Ukrainians simple fire too precisely. How may I put it…? Too stiff competition from Ukrainian artillery?
