The FAB 500 can travel up to 100 km, can be fired from behind Russian defensives lines, while the aircraft delivery vehicle is not exposed to enemy air defense systems.<ref>https://kyivindependent.com/russias-smart-bombs-pose-increasingly-serious-threat-to-ukraine/</ref> The FAB-1500s can reportedly be launched up to 50 km from the target and up to 10 km up, and be carried both by strategic bombers, like the Tupolev Tu-95 and the Tupolev Tu-160, and by tactical strike jets like the Sukhoi Su-27 and Sukhoi [[Su-34]].

The FAB-500 has a cost of US $3,200 apiece, with the addition of the UMPK guidance kit adding 30 to 50 percent to the cost, compared with the American equivalent by weight [[Tomahawk]] cruise missile with a cost of US $720,000.<ref>[https://www.bitchute.com/video/MdXkKSeaKqXR/ History of the Russian UMPK Glide Bomb], Apr 01, 2024.</ref>

The FAB-3000 is a 3,000 kg weapon or 6,300 lbs.<ref>https://t.me/wartimedia/100157</ref>  It differs from the others in the FAB series as it evidently includes a small rocket booster in order to extend the range of the weapon and uses a somewhat sophisticated type of GPS guidance.  Reports indicate it has a range between 80 km to 100 km (roughly between 50 to 62 miles), assuming the launch is from high altitude.
