TL;DR Summary

Photos circulating on social media show that some of the 5-inch Zuni air-launched rockets pledged to Ukraine by the United States have been delivered and are in use with the Ukrainian Air Force’s Su-25 Frogfoot attack aircraft. The rockets are intended to supplement the Soviet-era unguided rockets currently in use by the Ukrainian military, which are running low on supplies. The Zuni rockets offer a greater range and accuracy, potentially putting the launch aircraft outside the range of many very short-range air defense systems. The modular nature of the Zuni allows for different warhead types to be employed against various targets.
