Quote: “I can directly refute this.
Because UPAB-1500 was used more than once – for instance, on the front lines and during the active phase of the operations involving the Russian Volunteer Corps and Freedom of Russia Legion [on the territory of the Russian Federation – ed.] UPAB was also used.
That is, nothing new here.”
Background: The 117th Separate Brigade of Ukraine’s Territorial Defence Forces reported that Russian troops used a 1,500-kilogram heavy bomb for the first time ever, dropping it on a hromada in Sumy Oblast [a hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories].
