Oct 2, 2024, 09:35 AM
Videos circulated by pro-Russian sources suggest that Russian forces have used the ODAB-9000, a high-powered vacuum bomb weighing nine tons, for the first time in the conflict in Ukraine. The alleged strike reportedly took place in Volchansk, Kharkiv region. There is some uncertainty over the exact type of bomb used, with some reports mentioning the FOAB-1500. The ODAB-9000, known as the 'Father of All Bombs,' is considered one of the most powerful non-nuclear weapons globally. Russian military bloggers shared footage purportedly showing a massive explosion, but there has been no independent verification of the weapon used or whether any Ukrainian military forces survived.
