Quote: "We are now working on converting and producing our own corrected bombs based on conventional freefall bombs. There are various constructive intricacies, such as picking the appropriate wing, GPS module, and control module.

In a few weeks, we should begin testing the first batches of these bombs, which are Ukrainian-made."

Details: He added that the Ukrainian Air Force employs Western-made guided aerial bombs of various calibres, including the GBU-39 and GBU-62.

According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russian forces use over 3,000 guided aerial bombs every month in their attacks on Ukraine, which lacks sufficient air defence systems to protect itself from them.
