The Russian Aerospace Forces used two BETAB-500 bunker buster bombs in Tuesday’s airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria, a representative for the Aerospace Forces in Syria said.
“Today, Russian strike aircraft used two BETAB-500 bunker buster bombs weighing 500 kilograms [over 1,000 pounds] each against ISIL targets [in Syria],” Col. Igor Klimov told journalists in Syria.
Klimov said the bombs were delivered by Russian Su-24 Fencer attack jets.
“BETAB-500 bombs are used to destroy extremely protected and fortified underground bunkers, they are not dropped on cities,” Klimov noted.
An extensive variety of missiles and bombs equipped with cutting guidance systems are as of now being used by Russia as a part of its air battle against terrorists in Syria.
The concrete penetrating BETAB-500 bombs are equipped with a jet booster, which permits the bombs to totally wreck any underground establishment.
