Since this is the topic a few words on it:
Su-34 afaik can't carry FAB-3000 and that's because of size (diameter), not weight. There is a 3000kg load certified for the Fullback (Brahmos), but there are safety regulations that afaik do not allow the FAB-3000 to be carried... 1/9
...and I doubt that will change. The bomb with the largest weight certified for the Su-34 is the KAB-1500 family iirc.
A PGM set for the KAB-3000 is possible, although very problematic, the bomb itself is designed as a free-fall bomb, this will require design changes,..

@krakek1 As promised, here is my (much more) consistent argumentation line. (so a moment of procrastination between work and illness:(
I emphasize this is an ongoing discussion, as is the acquisition of a non-nuclear strategic arsenal (a relatively new thing).

For starters, DL missions (as part of the strategic deterrent), which is a whole other can of worms, need to be separated out, leaving aside for discussion purposes (different scenario).
This👇 Few people realize that however the war ends, even if it ends at the status quo as it is on the front line(s) at the moment, Ukraine's future will lie in the ability to engage targets in the European part of Russia and conventionally deter Russia.
Conventional deterrence will consist of the ability to service all type of targets up to 1800 (2000) km (Urals). This will lead to building a robust deterrence by denial capabilities. Ukrainian leaders are talking about this publicly, and the sooner we realise this, the better

About war (in Slovak), they asked me one question specifically for Lithuania. I think, the Kaliningrad (and Suwalki Gap) issue deserves own thread. 1/2 postoj.sk/108903/rusko-r…
Firstly – you can’t exclude this problem from Poland. Russian military thinking is considering it as a common issue. All ru military exercises focusing on Baltics region (Ladoga2009, Poryv2009 and Zapad2009) at least partially reflected it as a “problem” of Poland.

Also see the video and think that tank wasn’t destroyed?
It’s not true. Tank is no longer operational. I will explain what happened.
