Ukraine says it has a laser that can shoot down aircraft a mile away. It’s called ‘Tryzub’ | CNN
Drone force commander Sukharevskyi did not offer any further details about the laser. However, experts told CNN the existence of the Tryzub was “feasible.”

Thrilled to have contributed to @CNN.com's coverage of Ukraine's 'Tryzub' laser directed-energy weapon - a significant development in defense technology with a lot of unknowns remaining.

I looked into it a bit more, and this seems to be an example of an RBK-500 with an UMPK in Ukraine.
Since the back fins are missing, it seems like the bomb dispensed its submunitions.

I've not seen any remnants of ShOAB-0.5 dispensers yet.
However, it's often claimed that RBK-500 aerial bombs are used - apparently also with the UMPK gliding & guidance kit.
I doubt that the UMPK kit on the RBK-500 ShOAB-0.5 would look like that (👇) as the bomb opens rearward.

Rarely seen footage of a Russian
ShOAB-0.5 submunition in Ukraine.
For a technical assessment of the ShOAB-0.5, see our ARES Special Report covering all cluster munitions & submunitions in Syria 👇
