Like the JDAM they have a guidance-system

"he FAB–UMPK combination likely was first introduced on the Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback, with the aircraft often seen in footage carrying four wing-kit equipped FAB-500 bombs. The UMPK kit includes satellite navigation and an inertial-measurement unit for guidance. The UMPK glide bomb may have a range of around 40 kilometres when released from medium altitude. Recent videos also suggest Russia has integrated the kit with the heavier FAB-1500 bomb and the RBK-500 cluster munition."
