1/8 Getting a taste of their own medicine: Ukraine is increasingly targeting russians with their own glide and rocket-assisted bombs.
2/8 Recently, several videos have surfaced showcasing Ukrainian strikes on russian troops and infrastructure using glide bombs and rocket-assisted bombs. The bridges in the Kursk region serve as a notable example.
3/8 Ukraine has integrated JDAM-ER, GBU-39 Paveway IV, and Hammer bombs into its MiG-29 fleet. The introduction of the F-16 is expected to enhance these missions as well. Additionally, Ukraine is working on developing its own glide bombs.
4/8 Glide bombs represent one of the few genuine successes of russia's defense industry during the war, and russia continues to maintain a significant advantage in this area.
5/8 The arrival of F-16 jets equipped with AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, along with additional Patriot batteries, should help Ukraine keep russian Su-34 bombers at a greater distance.
6/8 Ukraine should be capable of targeting russian air bases with Western weapons, which would help maintain greater distance between Russian Su-34 bombers and the front lines, thereby reducing issues related to glide bombs.
7/8 For Ukraine to win the war faster, its allies need to substantially increase their military and financial support while also lifting any unnecessary restrictions that result in daily Ukrainian casualties.
