Combat-Ready: Ukraine Reveals Its First Heavy Guided Aerial Bomb

Ukraine has developed its first domestically produced guided aerial bomb, which has already passed testing and is ready for combat use, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said. According to him, the weapon is currently being used as part of an experimental batch and is undergoing combat testing under real battlefield conditions.

He wrote about this in Telegram.

The development was created by a member of the Brave1 defense cluster as part of the program to develop Ukrainian high-tech solutions for the front. According to the minister, the development took 17 months and has its own design, created with modern warfare conditions in mind.

“This is not a copy of Western or Soviet solutions but the own development of Ukrainian engineers,” said Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

The warhead of the Ukrainian guided bomb weighs 250 kg. The Ministry of Defense has already purchased the first experimental batch. Currently, Ukrainian pilots are practicing combat scenarios and adapting the use of new weapons in combat conditions.

The minister noted that Ukraine is moving towards creating its own high-tech weapons, which should strengthen the defense forces.

“Soon Ukrainian KABs will operate on enemy targets,” said Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

Earlier, Ukraine first unveiled the appearance of the Bars cruise missile, which is already in serial production. Photos of the product appeared at the Museum of the Russian-Ukrainian War at the National Defense University of Ukraine.

By the way, new photos of the Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missile have appeared online. AP journalist and photojournalist Yefrem Lukatsky published footage showing another batch of ammunition that the Fire Point company transferred to the Ukrainian military.

Recall that earlier, the technical characteristics of the Ukrainian drone-missile “Palyanytsya” were first revealed. Its details were made public during the international arms exhibition MSPO 2025 in Poland, where Ukroboronprom presented new renderings of this development.
