Ukraine developing guided aerial bombs domestically, Chief of Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff says
Ukraine is actively working on developing its own guided aerial bombs, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Anatolii Barhylevych reported on Nov. 24.
During a telethon on the air of Yedyni Novyny, he emphasized that addressing the threat of Russian anti-aircraft missiles remains a critical priority.
Barhylevych said that the Armed Forces are planning and executing operations to counter these attacks effectively.
When asked about progress on guided aerial bombs, he confirmed ongoing efforts and expressed confidence in achieving success.
Guided aerial bombs are precision-guided munitions that have a shorter range than missiles, but are far cheaper to produce.
Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said on Oct. 21 that Ukraine has invested more than $4 billion in its defense production and urged international partners to invest further, recalling the recent successes of Ukrainian specialists in drone manufacturing.
