The Russian army dropped a powerful ODAB-1500 bomb on the battlefield in Ukraine12. The bomb's explosion cloud reached a height of 1000 m2 and shook the world. However, the Ukrainian side said that this is not the first time that the Russian army has used such bombs12.
The ODAB-1500 bomb is a heavy air-fueled bomb, popularly known as a "thermobaric bomb"2. These bombs rely on the high heat and pressure generated by the explosion of vaporized fuel in the air, which can produce a wide area of lethal and destructive effects2. Ukrainian military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko said that the Russian army has deployed ODAB-1500 bombs12.
However, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Budanov refuted reports that the Russian army used this type of bomb on the battlefield of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict "for the first time2. "ODAB-1500 has been used more than once – both on the front lines and during combat operations in the 'Russian Volunteers' and the 'Russian Free Legion,' where the ODAB-1500 was used," he said. So it's nothing new. ”
Behind this conflict is a complex geopolitical game. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have been going on for a long time, and this bomb drop has undoubtedly exacerbated this tension. However, the response of the Ukrainian side shows that they are fully prepared for the Russian military operation.
Overall, this incident reminds us once again of how fragile peace is and how terrible the cost of war is. We expect the parties to resolve their disputes through peaceful means and avoid further conflict and destruction.
