Russia's air force seems to be increasingly using 1,100-pound cluster bombs.
Moscow "has likely started to more frequently employ" the RBK-500, a 1,100-pound bomb, over the past month, Britain's defense ministry wrote in a Wednesday intelligence update.
Reports indicate the RBK-500 has been used against Kyiv's forces near the eastern Ukrainian front-line cities of Vuhledar and Avdiivka, Britain's defense ministry said.
Sophisticated air defense on both sides has kept the sky above the battlefield contested, with neither Ukraine nor Russia's air force able to achieve air superiority.
Aerial footage released November 2 by Ukraine shows a Russian armored vehicle exploding near Avdiivka, Donetsk, Region, Ukraine.
