Russia has used an ODAB-9000 vacuum bomb in Ukraine for the first time - it is the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world (Updated)

Update

Vitaliy Sarantsev, the speaker of the Kharkiv task force, denied the information about the use of the ODAB-9000. He explained that a TU-160 bomber is needed to use such a bomb, but the takeoff of such an aircraft was not recorded.

The Ukrainian side has not yet commented on which means of destruction Volchansk was attacked with.

In the bloody war against Ukraine, Russia has perhaps used all kinds of weapons except nuclear weapons.

But, as it turned out, the occupiers, failing to cope with the heroic resistance of the people of Ukraine, prepared another terrible "Surprise".

Here's What We Know

A video is circulating in the network, which, according to Russian military correspondents, shows the first in the history of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the first in the history of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the impact of a vacuum bomb ODAB-9000 on the city of Volchansk, Kharkiv region.

The occupation army has been trying to capture this town since May 2024 and, having failed, is doing what it does best: razing the houses to the ground.

ODAB-9000.

This volumetrically detonating high explosive aerial bomb with a charge equivalent to 44 tonnes of TNT, making it the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world.

Fortified reinforced concrete objects are destroyed within a radius of more than 100 metres, at a distance of more than 1 km the shock wave blows out windows in houses and demolishes fences, and at a distance of 2290 m from the explosion site - knocking people off their feet.

The explosion of such a bomb is comparable to the use of a nuclear warhead, but without the radiation contamination.
