Russian media outlets have published footage of a Sukhoi 34 fighter jet flying over Ukraine, where it dropped the Russian FAB-3000 bomb, also known as the "Doomsday" bomb.
Russia has begun mass-producing the FAB-3000, a large-scale, high-explosive bomb.
The bomb weighs about 3 tons and can be compared to tactical nuclear bombs.
The FAB-3000, which is equipped with wings, is dropped from the air towards its target, and the bomb rotates 180 degrees after falling to correct itself for sliding.
When it hits the target, it causes severe damage to fortifications and infrastructure.
On March 22, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the start of large-scale production of the FAB-3000 high-explosive aerial bombs.

Former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu inspected the implementation of the Defense Ministry's orders at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that since February of this year, the process of large-scale production of high-explosive bombs "FAB-3000" has been organized.
