Ukraine’s ‘Equalizer’ bomb aims to blow up reliance on US, European weapons

Ukraine developed the homegrown glide bomb, called the Equalizer or Vyrivniuvach, which can transform conventional bombs into precision weapons for striking Russian forces from safer distances. Developed by DG Industry with support from Brave1, the weapon allows Ukrainian warplanes to attack targets far behind enemy lines while reducing reliance on U.S. and European supplied munitions. Although most of the components are local, the bomb’s chips and microcircuits still originate from abroad.
