(Forces) In its latest defence intelligence update on X, formerly known as Twitter, the MOD said the Russian air force was using RBK-500 cluster bombs more frequently in Ukraine as well as standoff glide bomb kits so they can drop munitions several kilometres away from their target.
"Depending on the variant, each RBK-500 ejects between approximately 100 and 350 submunitions," the MOD pointed out.
