Bombs will fall not only in Belgorod, as Russians are in a hurry to produce them – Ukraine's Air Force
Incidents similar to the explosion of an aircraft projectile in the Russian city of Belgorod may become more frequent in Russia due to the occupiers' attempts to quickly accelerate their manufacture at the expense of their quality.

Quote: "Such bombs (like in Belgorod – ed.) could have fallen elsewhere. It is because they [the Russians] are doing everything hastily and are using more of them every time. And when you do something quickly and carelessly, such incidents will become more frequent."
Details: Ihnat reminded the public that this bomb has been in service in the Russian army since Soviet times, but it requires modernisation and the installation of GPS navigation and wings.
In addition, he stressed that the threat of the Russians using such aircraft bombs will increase. "They have enough bombs," he said.
