Russian glide bombs present a growing challenge for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). A Polish outlet reported on this issue in Defense 24.
Military experts warn that the glide bomb problem could soon become a major hurdle for the AFU.
They note Russia has increased its use of glide bombs in recent months. With this munitions, Russian aircraft can strike while staying outside Ukrainian air defenses.
The analysis emphasizes that strong air defense is essential to counter Russian weapons. Yet moving air defense systems closer to the front line has, at times, exposed them to glide bomb strikes.
Analysts also point to statements by former Russian diplomats who have criticized the Ukraine situation and the West, suggesting that Ukraine faces severe risks ahead.
Earlier assessments from Ukraine’s Defense Ministry highlighted the scale of military aid received as of February 2022, underscoring the regional security dynamics at that time.
