TL;DR Summary

Ukraine has modified some of its MiG-29 fighter jets to carry winged JDAM-ER GPS-guided glide bombs, expanding their role in precision standoff strikes.

While not as advanced as Ukraine's Storm Shadow cruise missiles, the modification demonstrates Ukraine's efforts to enhance the lethality of its existing airframes with Western support.
