Ukrainian KABs will be capable of being launched from F-16, Rafale, and Mirage fighter jets

Ukraine has the necessary stockpiles of high-explosive bombs and the technical capability to convert them into guided aerial bombs (GABs), which will enable the effective destruction of deep-buried command posts and enemy troop concentrations. 

As military expert and former spokesperson for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznyov told Radio NV, Soviet ammunition and the expertise of Ukrainian designers will serve as the foundation for creating a cheap but powerful firepower capability.

Not only existing Soviet aircraft but also Western fighter jets received from international partners will be able to serve as carriers for the new Ukrainian GABs. The emergence and widespread use of such weapons is expected to significantly increase the monthly losses of Russian invaders on the battlefield, which is a critically important task for the Ukrainian military at the current stage of defense.

A member of the Brave1 defense cluster has created the first Ukrainian guided aerial bomb (GAB), which has already successfully passed all necessary tests and is fully ready for combat use on the front lines. 

Ukraine is already producing its own long-range weapons, which are more effective than the limited number of TAURUS missiles that Germany could provide.
