If Flankers will stay in the inventory for a while, AND if Russian MoD will change their certified logic of “creating completely new platform instead of just introducing mid-life upgrade” there will be a solid chance. Looking at 29SMT and 27SM programs, as well as the SM2 itself - there is a solid chance that MoD realised how convenient it is to make MLU packages and we can expect AESA for N035 in the future.

FAB-500T is just the name of the unguided bomb used with the guidance kit
A temperature resistant FAB-500
seems a lot of people are saying that its a jet powered but i dont see a intake or a prop
looks like just aerodynamics kit… or whatever
as it has flat tail
maybe a rocket engine like the grom
then there wouldve been hole or somthing.
but it’s just flat
Could still be rocket engine, cause all other types likely requires an intake. Plus the short time period of the rocket means IR missiles struggle against these things as they would’ve gone pretty cold by the time they get there.
you still need nozzle…
Does it not have one?
Edit, nvm it doesn’t.

So is this a real operational one, as the other guy said there isnt a nozzel. Although tbf it could just be a failed one.
I mean there has to be some sort of powered UPMK otherwise there is no explanation to the 200km reports from Ukrainians.
that one already got better aerodynamics, so could be enough
i dont think an unpowered umpk can outrange powered grom 1.
it could be a training bomb , or maybe it has a cap that can detach itself later on.
god knows how reliable this is, I’m leaning doubt
how bad you should be to fail at such thing…lol
poopoo happens, probably more info will come out in a couple of days to weeks.
I mean I have seen certain orders for small size Chinese jet engines although IDK how much thrust is needed for FAB-500, cause I think sw800s are like less than 100kgf.
