The first Ukrainian KAB is ready for combat use
The Defense Minister noted that "a Brave1 participant created the first Ukrainian guided aerial bomb, which has already passed the necessary tests and is ready for combat use," and thus the development of Ukrainian high-tech solutions for the front continues.
"Development lasted 17 months," Fedorov noted. "The Ukrainian KAB has a unique design and was created taking into account the realities of modern warfare. This is not a copy of Western or Soviet solutions, but an original development by Ukrainian engineers for the effective destruction of fortifications, command posts, and other enemy targets dozens of kilometers deep after launch," said the head of the Ministry of Defense.
The warhead is 250 kg. The Ministry of Defense has already purchased the first experimental batch. Currently, pilots are practicing combat scenarios and adapting the use of the new weapon in real war conditions
According to the minister, Ukraine is "moving from importing individual solutions to creating its own high-tech weapons, which systematically strengthen the Defense Forces and provide a technological advantage on the battlefield."
Soon, Ukrainian KABs will be operating against enemy targets. We are scaling solutions that increase the range and accuracy of strikes and change the rules of modern warfare
