Ukraine's new guided bomb was spotted at the Defence Cooperation Forum. Future Warfare held in Kyiv on 24 August. As Ukrainian authorities were showing their latest innovations to their Western allies, the compact aerial bomb attracted attention from Defense Express experts.
The defense ministers of Denmark, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Sweden, representatives of the United Kingdom, Estonia, and the Czech Republic, as well as delegates from the EU and NATO, attended the forum.
Domestic innovation on the international stage
President Volodymyr Zelensky and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney attended the presentation, reviewing the newest developments from Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex.
The experts noted that the new bomb closely resembles the Turkish MAM-L, long used with Bayraktar TB2 drones.
Features of the Ukrainian air bomb
- Stabilizers and control surfaces are similar to the MAM-L.
- A protruding top section, likely for pylon attachment.
- The rear section includes a unique module absent in the Turkish version.
- The texture of the body and stabilizers suggest the possibility of 3D printing production.
Specifications still under wraps
Detailed technical data remain unknown, but analysts expect the new munition to significantly enhance the effectiveness of Ukraine’s airstrikes.
