Military and political observer Oleksandr Kovalenko has commented on the events in Russian Belgorod, where an aerial bomb fell and exploded at the intersection of busy streets in the evening of April 20.

"In general, I am not surprised by what happened. Because I repeatedly warned the Russians, who rejoiced at the use of these bombs on the territory of Ukraine, that they would fall on their heads as well. And so it happened and will happen," the expert noted.

Kovalenko reminded that on March 12, 2023, an FAB-500 M62 bomb with a Russian control and correction module, which makes a free-fall bomb look like a gliding, guided bomb, fell on the heads of the locals in Kubyshevskyi district of Donetsk. The module itself landed 500 metres from the bomb.

"These modules are manufactured artisanally, quickly and in large quantities. However, because of all the above, they are unreliable and often simply fall apart in the air. And the fact that a bomb fell in Belgorod and just a month ago in Donetsk begs the question, how many have fallen in the fields and forests? But what is most interesting in this story is not even that the Russian Defence Ministry has admitted at some point that they are bombing Belgorod, and not that the fact of the poor quality of Russian glide bombs is confirmed, but that we have not even started anything yet," Kovalenko added.
