It is not known what type of aircraft Ukraine used these bombs on. To correct and record the results, a UAV from one of the Armed Forces units was used.
Earlier, Ukrainian Armed Forces Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat said that Ukraine needs longer-range weapons, including AASM Hammer bombs, to be provided by France.
