The weapon, which can carry a load of a 500kg warhead, has been deemed so powerful that Nato dubbed it "The Sizzler".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia hit five cities on Monday in a "genocidal" attack.
He demanded Moscow answer "for all its crimes" against people, children and humanity.
His chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, accused Russia of "deliberately targeting" children.
