On May 18, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fyodorov announced the successful development of Ukraine's first guided aerial bomb, named 'Vyrivniuvach' (or 'Equalizer'), which features a 250 kg warhead. This bomb, created by the defense innovation center Brave1, aims to target fortifications and command posts from distances of 'tens of kilometers' away. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has already procured an initial batch for testing, emphasizing its unique design that does not replicate Western or Soviet munitions. Notably, the 'Equalizer' is projected to be three times cheaper than American JDAM-ER bombs, enhancing its appeal for combat operations. However, experts from Army Recognition express skepticism about its combat readiness, citing the extensive trials required for effective deployment. They suggest that the initial batch may serve primarily as a data-collection tool rather than for immediate offensive actions. Additionally, a Russian analyst claims the bomb resembles an American Mk 82 bomb fitted with a NATO precision kit, raising questions about its domestic development. Overall, while the 'Equalizer' represents a significant step for Ukraine's defense capabilities, its operational effectiveness remains uncertain amidst production challenges.
