Ukraine's Su-27s Deploy Advanced Winged Bombs, Exposing Russia's Strategic Bomber Weakness

Ukraine's Su-27 Flanker fighters have been spotted carrying JDAM-ER GPS-guided glide bombs, in addition to the previously seen MiG-29 Fulcrums. The unique pylon construction on the Su-27 suggests that it was specifically developed to accommodate these weapons. The JDAM-ER is a kit applied to conventional bombs, providing them with inertial and GPS guidance and pop-out wings for increased range. The use of Su-27s offers advantages in terms of performance, range, and the ability to carry multiple weapons. The deployment of JDAM-ERs by Ukraine indicates a shift towards precision-guided munitions and a potential future integration with F-16 jets.

Ukraine's MiG-29 Fulcrums: Unleashing JDAM-ER Bombing Power

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. The JDAM-ER kits transform conventional bombs into smart weapons with inertial and GPS guidance, giving them precision and range. 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.

Ukraine's MiG-29 Fulcrums: Unleashing JDAM-ER Bombing Power

The Ukrainian Air Force has modified some of its MiG-29 fighter jets to carry winged JDAM-ER GPS-guided glide bombs, expanding their role to precision standoff strike capabilities. The first airstrikes using these bombs reportedly began in early March. The JDAM-ER kit transforms conventional bombs into true fire-and-forget weapons with precision guidance and wings, extending their range. While not as advanced as Ukraine's Storm Shadow cruise missiles, the modified MiG-29s demonstrate the country's efforts to enhance its airpower with Western support.
