Russia Confirmed Use of Precision Weapons in South Ossetia
Military command of the RF has confirmed the use of precision weapons against Georgia. General Staff Deputy Chief General-Colonel Anatoly Nogovitsyn made the respective statement, Interfax reported.
Russia “has in inventory the weapons allowing to hit only the facilities threatening our troops instead of fighting by carpet bombing… We are doing exactly this now,” the general said without naming the weapons.
The precision weapons are the guided weapons able to hit the aim by a short (launch). The group contains ground and air missile systems as well as the bombing and artillery systems of guided weapons.
Russia probably used KAB-500L adjustable air bombs (laser guidance) carried by Su-25 warplanes in the military operation against Georgia. The bombs benefit from the powerful combat component of an ordinary bomb coupled with the precision of air-to-ground guided missile. The probable circular deflection from the target doesn’t exceed 10 meters.
