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.

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.

UK's Storm Shadow missiles wreak havoc on Russian targets with impeccable accuracy.

The UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile is performing "almost without fault" in Ukraine, striking Russian targets with nearly pinpoint accuracy, according to UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace. The missile's range exceeds 155 miles and is designed to fly low after launch to evade detection. Its effect on the Russian army in Ukraine has been primarily around its logistics, as well as command and control. The UK announced in May that it would send an undisclosed number of Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.
