AFU will soon start testing Ukrainian-made guided bombs
The Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin testing Ukrainian-made guided bombs in a few weeks.
This was announced in an interview with Donbas Realities (a project of Radio Liberty) by the Chief of Aviation of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Holubtsov, Ukrinform reports.
"We are also currently working on re-equipping and creating our own guided bombs on the basis of conventional free-fall bombs. There are some design nuances, we need to select a wing, a GPS module, and a control module. In a few weeks, we are going to start the first tests of the first batches of such bombs, which are Ukrainian," said Holubtsov.
According to him, the Ukrainian Air Force is currently using Western-made KABs: GBU-39, GBU-62 of various calibres.
As Ukrinform reported, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine is introducing direct contracting with global arms manufacturers.
