Russian Aerospace Force Loves Glide Bombs It Drops on Ukraine With Impunity

Russia’s Air Force increased glide bomb usage against Ukraine to an average of 250 per day in January-June 2026, a 45% rise. UMPK-fitted FAB bombs, launched from 60 miles away, frequently miss targets and strike civilian areas, causing casualties. Ukraine’s limited defenses allow Russia to potentially drop ~100,000 more such bombs by 2027.
