“Despite the fact that it’s quite small, it’s quite a powerful bomb,” Viking says of the SDB, noting that it can penetrate around six feet of reinforced concrete. The design philosophy behind the SDB is also in stark contrast to Soviet-era aerial bombs, which always prioritized size and weight — “the main thing for them is that there should be a big explosion, rather than accuracy.” However, more explosive doesn’t necessarily translate to greater destructive power, as the SDB has shown.
The difference in approach is also seen in Russian tactics. Viking says the Russians frequently use at least 10 times as many munitions in one single area of the front lines than Ukraine does across the entirety of the front lines in a month. Viking suggests that, while Ukrainian munitions might achieve an accuracy as high as 85%, Russian equivalents might only attain 15-20% on target, hence the need for more and heavier weapons to compensate.
