The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues to transform into a powerful pinpoint strike unit, the publication noted.

Recently, one of the modified Ukrainian MiG-29 fighters apparently dropped a GBU-62 glide bomb directly into the door of a defunct air defense bunker in the Kherson region, which the Russian command was using as a field headquarters, Forbes reports .

It is noted that the purpose of the raid on this headquarters was to deprive the leadership of the Russian units responsible for the attacks on the Dnieper islands.

The magazine emphasized that the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is putting new ammunition and aircraft into operation and continues to transform into a powerful point-strike unit.

As Forbes suggested, it is likely that every Ukrainian combat aircraft is equipped with satellite-guided and inertially guided bombs: American GBU-39 and GBU-62, French Hammers, and perhaps even bombs of new Ukrainian design.

“The GBU-62 that hit the Russian headquarters in the Kherson region is made in the US, but is uniquely Ukrainian… The GBU-62, costing about $50,000, is a killer, and it allows Ukrainian MiG-29 crews to do what the Russians do with their much more expensive Iskander ballistic missiles, each of which costs over $3 million,” the publication says.

As a reminder, UNIAN previously wrote how the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a consolidated support company of one of the Russian units in the occupied territory of the Kherson region with a precise strike.

The list of Russian losses was supplemented by watercraft, military property, and a utility room with technical equipment. The destruction of the above “does not allow the enemy to conduct combat operations against Ukrainian units in this area.”
