"Ukraine has developed its first domestically produced glide bomb, the Vyrivniuvach (Equalizer), after 17 months of work. The 250-kg weapon is designed for Su-24, MiG-29, F-16 and other jets, costing one-third of a US JDAM-ER. It provides Ukraine with a homegrown solution to Russian glide bombs that devastated cities like Kharkiv in 2023-2024. The bomb reduces reliance on Western supplies and political constraints on targeting."
