According to him, the enemy is now using these jet-powered air defense systems individually in different regions, testing how these weapons work and how the Defense Forces react.
“This is the same bomb launched from the Su-34 aircraft; according to its flight parameters, it is similar to a cruise missile, so it can be intercepted by means of air defense. Yesterday, the Southern Air Command confirmed the interception of two such guided aerial bombs with increased range; experts will determine what type it is. The fall of the third bomb was recorded in an open part of the territory without consequences,” he said.
Guided aerial bombs with a jet engine (KABs) began to fly to Odesa, Mykolaiv region, Kharkiv region, and Dnipropetrovsk region.
