UMPB D-30SN

Also known as
  • UMPB D-30
  • D-30SN
  • УМПБ Д-30СН
  • Universal Interservice Glide Munition
  • Universal Interspecific Glide Bomb

The UMPB D-30SN is a Russian 250 kg-class guided glide bomb developed for stand-off attacks beyond many short-range Ukrainian air defenses. Ukrainian intelligence and defense reporting describe a factory-built munition with satellite/inertial navigation, Kometa-M8 anti-jam reception, and up to about 100 km range when released from high altitude.

Role in Conflicts

Design And Supply Chain Notes

The D-30SN fills a lower-cost stand-off precision role between crude UMPK-converted bombs and Russia's scarcer purpose-designed guided munitions.

FeatureSourced detailWhy it matters
Guidance packageUkrainian intelligence reporting identifies inertial/satellite navigation and a Kometa-M8 CRPA antenna.Anti-jam reception is central to Russian efforts to keep glide bombs usable under Ukrainian electronic warfare pressure.
Bomb classSources describe a roughly 250 kg munition with an integrated FAB-250-class warhead.The size is closer to the GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb I, 250-pound GPS/INS-guided glide bomb, MunitionsGBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb I concept than to Russia's larger FAB-500 UMPK attacks.
Production networkUkrainian intelligence names Tactical Missile Armament Corporation and Granit-Electron links and identifies dozens of production-cooperation companies.The component trail makes the weapon useful for sanctions and supply-chain tracking as well as battlefield identification.
Launch flexibilitySu-34 use is publicly visible; Ukrainian intelligence also lists Su-30SM, Su-35, Su-24, S-70, and possible booster-assisted Tornado-S launch.The broader platform list suggests Russia designed the munition as a cross-service guided payload, but open-source operational evidence is uneven by platform.

Up to about 100 km when released from 12-15 km altitude; 90 km observed-range estimate in 2024 reporting
Guidance
Inertial and satellite navigation with Kometa-M8 CRPA anti-jam antenna
Launch platforms
Su-34, Su-30SM, Su-35, Su-24, and S-70 Okhotnik listed by Ukrainian intelligence; 300 mm Tornado-S ground launch reported as a possible booster configuration
Configuration
Purpose-built guided glide aerial bomb with folding wings, tail control surfaces, and internal modules similar to UMPK guidance kits
Operational Launch Platform

Open-source imagery and analysis most clearly document the UMPB D-30SN on Su-34 strike aircraft in Ukraine.

Long War Journal and Defense Express both describe UMPB D-30SN releases from Su-34 aircraft, including imagery of multiple bombs released in one attack sequence.

Loadout limit

Analysts noted Russian aircraft appear to carry UMPB D-30SNs on separate pylons rather than on a four-bomb smart rack like the U.S. BRU-61/A, which limits carriage density.

Reported Compatible Platforms

Ukrainian intelligence reporting lists several aircraft and one ground-launch route, but the public record is strongest for Su-34 employment.

Timeline

UMPB D-30SN Key Events

  1. First public wreckage reports

    Photos of UMPB D-30SN remnants appeared in early March 2024, with reporting describing inertial and satellite guidance and Kometa reception.

    Sources: Long War Journal UMPB Photos

  2. Kharkiv attack highlights range threat

    Defense Express analyzed imagery of Su-34-released D-30SN bombs and estimated a roughly 90 km autonomous flight profile toward Kharkiv.

  3. Design and production clues published

    Long War Journal compared the D-30SN to the U.S. Small Diameter Bomb, noted its purpose-built glide-bomb layout, and used serial numbers to infer a wartime production ramp.

  4. S-70 crash reveals D-30SN carriage

    After a Russian S-70 Okhotnik crashed in Ukraine, The War Zone reported that wreckage imagery showed at least one UMPB D-30SN nose section, indicating armed operational trials.
