A clever bolt-together weapon — a small glide bomb strapped to a surplus rocket motor to give HIMARS a 150 km punch that can curve around defenses and even strike behind the launcher. On paper a bargain deep-strike round; in Ukraine, blunted badly by Russian jamming.
Ukraine's first home-built guided glide bomb — a clamp-on wing-and-guidance kit that turns a dumb 250-kg bomb into a stand-off precision weapon, the Ukrainian answer to Russia's devastating FAB-UMPK. Declared combat-ready in May 2026; no confirmed strike yet.
A modular French rocket-boosted precision glide-bomb kit that transforms standard bombs into jam-resistant stand-off weapons, proving critical in Ukraine where it retains accuracy under Russian GPS denial.
Russia's cheap, mass-produced glide-bomb conversion kit — turned Soviet-era free-fall bombs into standoff weapons and became the defining Russian strike capability of the war in Ukraine.
Russia’s heavy strike fighter-bomber — a side-by-side two-seat Su-27 derivative that became the principal launch platform for UMPK glide bombs over Ukraine and the most heavily contested Russian combat jet.
