Last year DW was saying that Russia doesn't have weapons now they are crying again 😅😅😅😅😅

There is a reason why the AK-47 is still the most used rifle around the world, and not the M16...

“NASA spent millions of dollars inventing the ball-point pen so they could write in space. The Russians took a pencil.”

1.1 billion $ system vs 20.000$ Soviet bomb.

US: Spends trillions on research and innovation. RUS: Puts wings on a 60 year old bomb and just sends it.

The biggest country in the world, great science base, able to produce nuclear power plants, planes, rockets for space program, sattelites, two CPU manufacturers, enormous resources of commodies, energy, food backed by China and many other big countries in the world. Americans and British politicians think that Russia is Libya, Serbia, Iraq, Panama.

The proxy war in Ukraine is the first time NATO has tried to pick on someone their own size and NATO is getting humiliated.

Бабушку 64 лет на Закарпатье приговорили к 5 годам лишения свободы за празднование дня космонавтики. 12 апреля 2024 года пенсионерка из села Бедевля Тячевского района Закарпатской области опубликовала на своей странице в социальной сети "Одноклассники" пост, посвященный празднованию Дню космонавтики. Бабушка выставила фотографию с Юрием Гагариным с подписью "Спасибо вам, Юрий Алексеевич". Пять лет тюрьмы. Вонючее, позорное псевдогосударство. Тюрьма народов мерзкая. Населенная запуганными рабами, где одна половина трясется и мечтает оттуда сбежать, а вторая половина преследует первую

American defense contractors must be in rage! How dare those Russians produce cheap weapons! Bad for business. Outrages!

But Russia is out of weapons and Ukraine is winning right.. right?

Washing machines work better than expensive western equipment 😂

Now I figure it out why NATO called the “shovels”. Only have to see the size of the crater it dig 😂

After 2 years of American and European expensive "Game Changers" that turned out to be over rated, it turned out that the Game Changer was an inexpensive Soviet era technology bomb with wings.

Those washing machines sure pack a punch.

I heard Russia also puts wings on shovels and then drops them from aircraft. Those are extra unstoppable.

Its difficult to admit the truth after 2 and a half years of lies isnt it?

imagine $20,000 bomb wreaking havoc that multimillion air defenses can't defend against!

Have they forgot the leaked pentagon reports about JDAM performance in Ukraine? Ukraine used JDAM which is the same glide bomb Russia is using but is advertised as "better, more accurate, and more modern". Yet Russia made them almost useless by jamming GPS.

What makes the glide bombs a game changers is the fact that the Russians have millions of them. They can keep throwing them for many years.

Russia has only shovel😂😂😂

Man these are descendants of people who put Yuri Gagarin into space , when Americans were still swinging in trees. What do you expect from them , they're creative, very fast adaptable to multiple war situation. Good at chess, math and physics. They can modify a dumb bomb very fast into a smart guided one if they put effort into it.

Proof that everything new isn't better.

When you have a limited budget innovation takes place. When you have an indefinite budget, you just bribe your Officials for more and more and have over 900 unnecessary bases around the world but could not produce 155mm ammunition in sufficient quantities

DW and experts are learning russian way again in 21st century.

This is ok. But what about those mighty russian shovels?

These Shovels and washing machines are so precise!

“FAB 3000” is a Game Changer not challenger 2 ,not Abrams & not Leopard

fun fact these glide bombs are very difficult to track by radar ,often seen a a dot on screen which then disappears

Russia is using 'old' missiles and at the same time creating new ones. In other words, it is renewing its arsenal thanks to Europe.

You mean to tell me those flying shovels are actually working? What next, turtle tanks?

soviet weapons were mass produced with so much care and THOUGHTFUL disdain for defeating the US...

LOL. Good job DW, it only took you guys over 2 years to figure it out.

Главное помнить: Россия горела ровно столько раз, сколько раз были повержены её враги. В России главная ценность - это семья, родные люди: родители, братья, сёстры, дети, друзья. Сейчас мы не чувствуем угрозу со стороны Украины и запада, локальные конфликты возникали всегда и во всех точках земного шара. Большая часть граждан России продолжает жить мирной жизнью, редко чувствуя присутствие войны. НО! Но если каждый из нас почувствует угрозу родной земле, родному дому, и, в конце концов, родным и близким людям, то каждый возьмется за оружие и, если потребуется, отдаст за всё это свою жизнь (даже женщины, например, моя мама 1969 года не против воевать, если потребуется). И, поверьте, цена наших жизней для тех, кто всё это начал, будет очень велика. Даже если мы вдруг проиграем, даже если мы все погибнем, мы прихватим с собой столько врагов, сколько возможно, а возможно всех. Россия сейчас не воюет всем составом, всеми средствами и в полную силу. Мне 29, я мужчина, все мои друзья мирно живут и ни один не участвует в СВО. Россия не воюет всеми средствами, как это делает, например, Израиль в Палестине. Россия не воюет по принципу НАТО, когда всё вокруг бомбами превращается в пепел. НО ЭТО СКОРО МОЖЕТ НАЧАТЬСЯ. Не думаю, что кому-либо это действительно хочется, ни со стороны России, ни со стороны Запада.

Every piece of Russian military equipment is cheaper, and often better, than it's American equivalent. Cheaper in development, production ánd maintenance. The difference is significant, ranging from 1/2 price to 1/10 or less. This is not at all unique to these glide bombs. Btw, it's not that their equipment is no cheap...it's that US equipment is extremely expensive.

Ветеран ВМФ из Херсонской области Юрий Бульбах заявил, что 30 лет ждал прихода России. Об этом пишет РИА Новости.Он подчеркнул, что один раз принимал присягу своей Родине и она у него одна.Бульбах начинал службу в Советской армии на Черноморском флоте. После этого его перевели на Балтику. После распада Советского Союза он отказался принять присягу на Украине.Ежегодно он поднимал советский военно-морской флаг на праздники, не боясь преследования со стороны Киева.9 мая жители Киева с утра приносили цветы к Вечному огню в парке Славы, несмотря на то что украинские власти перенесли праздник на 8 мая.Парад Победы в Москве транслировали многие кабельные каналы в Одесской области.

These bombs actually have glide wings made out of shovels and washing machine gps as a brain...

russia has so much of those bomb from the soviet eras now being put to use against Ukraine...

People who think that Ukraine is winning are living in denial. They seek comfort in subjective reality and ignore all the facts.

So you're telling me this war made Russia stronger and a bigger threat to Europe? Wow thank you uncle Sam

American Military Industrial Complex: Main priority-Profitability Russian Military- Efficiency and effectiveness!

it's sad that all those young men are being sent to die

😂😂😂 They defeated Germany with those low cost bombs!

How many of these old Soviet bombs you have? Russia: YES.

"Only" 250kgs and then this. Imagine what the 1.500kg and bigger ones do. This is just proof of Russian ingenuity and adaptability.

If America had Russia's way of thinking about cost effectiveness and resourcefulness we wouldn't have the massive deficit we have today

That is Economics 101! The effect is the one that matters not the cost!🤣🤣🤣🤣

how dare they use old munition they sould be ashamed of them selves

20k USD is the same as 2 western 155mm unguided artillery shell lol

One Forbes article earlier reads: Don’t Fear Russia’s 3.3-Ton Glide-Bomb. It’s Massive Overkill When A 1.1-Ton Glide-Bomb Will Kill You Just Fine. Wonder how the soldiers on the receiving end are supposed to think when they see this article

"russia! Y u so evil??? This is supposed to be a friendly war"😅😅😅😅

Russian shovels again ? 😂😂😂

Russia in tatters according to Von der Lion

thoose shovels knows how to dig some soil

When Russia finally pulls off the gloves, Ukraine gon learn

The less than honest 'expert' not mentioning that Russia blew off the Patriot systems to smithreens is so conspicuous and that's the reason why others have now stopped even talking about thier anti-missile systems whom they had vaunted as if they were invincible/infallible systems.

Those washing machines sure make an impact when they hit the ground.

Shovel bombs cant be underestimated😂

Russian Glide Rockets are definitely very very effective they are learning!!!!!!!!!!!

So, at the beginning he said that is only FAB-250. These days FAB-1500 is in use...

Old Washing machine parts are truly a Game changer 😂

In summary: Russian shovels are crude, cheap, but they work.

The first tid-bits of reality ever heard on DW News: " There's probably two or three reasons 'why Ukraine hasn't gotten many western defence systems' You need crews to operate them; have missiles to fire from them. It's not just a case of giving Ukraine a piece of equipment; we have to give them the capability to use it". or: "if you see what happens in Ukraine and you haven't got many of these systems yourself and you haven't got enough for your own country and you're not sure where you're going to get another one from' would you be willing to give the one you have to Ukraine or do you keep the one you have ?" IT IS TRAGIC THAT THE USA WON'T LET -DID NOT LET UKRAINE AGREE in BELARUS AND ISTANBUL. THIS IS AN UNNECESSARY WAR.

500 and 3000 is on the way

Kindly note that currently Russia is using the deadly FAB-1500 Glide bombs and almost completed the production of The FAB -3000 and feel sorry for ukraine troops when this FAB-3000 begins to do it's job.

Sad all around. War is brutal.

The biggest issue nobody is talking about is that Ukraine has lost its fighting spirit. Just the fact that they have to draft men into service is proof that not enough men are willing to risk their lives for their country. But it's a lot worse in reality: Those drafted overwhelmingly refuse being drafted. The worst they have to face is a fine. And don't get me wrong, I would do the same thing. I'd rather go into debt for the rest of my life rather than lose my life on the front lines. And most of those who go into service right now WILL die. This dynamic is not something Ukraine can survive. No country in a war can survive the unwillingness of its citizens to fight.

Russian Kalashnikov will always hold the record for highest body count, why would he get new toy when something indestructible n reliable compared to the new toys?

You should say they're very effective against Western weapons

Simple Analog technology isn't affected by digital electronic warfare.

Yeah 250k of high explosive is gonna make a crater.

Now thats power! No holding back

russian flying shovels that cant be stopped by nato's wonder weapons

That feels like a true wonder weapon.

This mainstream media is so confusing.

Because they're propelled by Russian shovels. Best in the world.

Its a cheap and still effective version of the US glidebombs. The russians probably have countless thousands of normal bombs of various sizes from the soviet era in storage and now modding them into glidebombs. The biggest one at the moment is 1500kG. Its a deadly bunkerbuster and can flatten entire fortified highrise buildings. And it seems they are working on the 3000kG version,although i bet those are only for specialy hard targets. Ukraine aswered this threat with stationing Patriot AA-batteries nearer to the front in order to reach the glidebomb cariers,but then those are also more vulnerable for attacks and they lost quite a few of this very expensive batteries in recent weeks,empowering the russian airforce even more.

other news : why old boeing planes are more effective

Nick Connolly is less smug now. He has become more realistic.

Now THAT is smart.

This war is about to end

Let's see how work of next miracle weapon F16.

I fought on the front lines for 10 1/2 months & suffered a brain injury from a Russian artillery shell that hit 3 meters away from me. I'm home now after 4 months in the hospital in Kiev.

it's not about how advance , it's about how effective.

A moment of silence for all the NPCs that were told Russia ran out of munitions 18 months ago 😂

these are some powerful bombs with shovels as wings

Life is not a video game

horrible war loses on both sides Prayers

😄😄😄😄 I am laughing at the DW News anchors.

Necessity gives birth to innovation

Who wants to order a parcel from the USSR?

A great example of military adaptation and innovation. Cheap and effective.

Washing machine bomb

NATO's war in Ukraine deterred by soviet shovels...

Of course everyone has to make it sound like some kind of hillbilly rig. Russia has had PGM for decades. They were the first to field a guided artillery round and the first to use one in combat. The US used Vietnam era bombs in Iraq with JDAM bolt on kits. The Paveway, the US' LASER guided bomb, is a bolt on kit (my dad worked on the assembly line for them at TI right after he got out of the Navy). The only thing 'new' for Russia, about these bombs, is the glide kit which is a bit more sophisticated than a simple GPS guided gravity bomb.

"If it kills, then it works."

Russia is way ahead of tge game. While we are busy trying to learn about the Glide Bombs they're Already working on another Smart Bombs better than the Glide Bombs😂

Now i understand why they where crying for russia not to use because of all the defend systems nato have been built in ukraine for years

In space pens do not write; the US spent millions to make a pen able to write in space, the Russians used pencils

I gave my washing machine to the army to use it wisely.

Russian shovels are very good.....
