Russia has continued its military operations in Ukraine, striking Ukrainian positions in Myrnohrad with FAB glide bombs. Reports indicate that recent attacks have involved some of the larger munitions in Russia’s arsenal, highlighting the ongoing intensity of the conflict in the region.
In the broader context, Western countries appear to be increasing their production of precision-guided munitions, but analysts suggest that Russia is still leading in the number of certain weapon systems produced. Projections for 2025 indicate that Russia may produce around 100,000 FAB-UMPKs, a substantial number of gliding bombs used in such strikes.
Meanwhile, Western military industries are gearing up their inventories, with estimates pointing to the production of approximately 10,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) and about 1,200 AASM Hammers by 2025. These developments reflect ongoing efforts by both sides to enhance their capabilities amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
