Russian milblog discusses UAV-based laser designation to improve accuracy of glide bombs against bridges

A Russian milblog post discusses using UAV-mounted laser target designation to guide glide bombs (UMPK/UMPB) more precisely against targets such as bridge supports. It cites the Krasnopol guided shell concept and mentions Orlan-30 UAVs as an existing laser-designation platform, framing it as an expansion of strike methods rather than reporting a specific attack.
