The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing senior US officials familiar with the matter, that the White House was planning to supply Ukraine with advanced electronic equipment to convert unguided aerial munitions into high-precision "smart bombs" to target Russia's military positions. According to the report, the delivery would include global positioning devices for precision that could be deployed onto a variety of arms and create what the Pentagon calls a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM).
"Why does Ukraine need it? In fact, it does not. The only weaponry they used during the special military operation was missiles. Recently they have been using the AGM-88 HARM missile, an air-to-radar missile, and trying to destroy the radars of our air defense systems. They do not succeed and often lose aircraft that carry these missiles. The Ukrainian aviation has never conducted bombing strikes," Leonkov said.
He added that it would be reasonable to speculate about possible air raids by the Ukrainian military using "smart bombs" if Kiev "suddenly had, let's say, 300 aircraft."
