Defense Express reported the information.The Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff announced that Ukraine's Defense Forces "are taking effective measures to reduce the effectiveness of Russian guided aerial bombs" and revealed that between September and November, the Air Force's anti-aircraft missile units destroyed up to 100 enemy guided bombs. However, officials declined to provide specific details about the new weapon being tested, including whether it represents an entirely new system or modifications to existing equipment.The fight against guided aerial bombs, known as KABs, has emerged as a particularly painful challenge for Ukrainian forces. Many military experts argue that the most effective approach would be to destroy the aircraft carrying these weapons or target production facilities inside Russian territory, rather than attempting to shoot down the bombs themselves. While this strategy sounds promising in theory, it requires either air superiority over enemy forces or a substantial arsenal of long-range strike capabilities, including cruise and ballistic missiles, to conduct systematic deep strikes into enemy territory.Given that the announcement specifically mentions the Air Force's anti-aircraft missile units, military analysts believe the new system likely involves missile-based weaponry. However, a critical question remains unanswered: how does this new solution address the cost-effectiveness problem of intercepting guided bombs? In October alone, Russian forces launched more than 5,300 guided aerial bombs in what became a record month for such attacks. Countering this threat would require thousands of interceptor missiles, which in any scenario would be more expensive than the weapons they're designed to destroy.The General Staff's announcement suggests that after testing all available options, Ukrainian Defense Forces—either independently or in partnership with international allies—have decided to develop a new countermeasure system. While the news of an effective weapon against guided bombs should be viewed positively, experts caution that significant work likely remains ahead in terms of scaling up production and deployment of whatever systems prove successful in combating this threat. Military strategists also emphasize the importance of maintaining a comprehensive approach to countering guided bombs rather than relying on any single solution.
