 Ukraine wants fighter jets against Russia's new bombs. Hey, the modern fighter jets are needed in order to protect against the new gliding bombs that Russia has begun to use against Ukraine. Yuri Inat, spokesman for the Air Force, said about it. Inat confirmed the information that the Russians have begun to use new UPAB-150B-1500kg gliding bombs against Ukraine. Absolutely correct. It is so. This information isn't new. Russians can use missiles remotely, the way they did in spring, but they can also use guided aircraft bombs. The enemy's missile capabilities are not unlimited either. The planning bombs, gliding aircraft bombs that have wings, can fly tens of kilometers. It is likely that the Su-34 fighter bomber that was recently shot down attacked Ukraine with such bombs. That is why we are now talking about modern fighters with a large effective range. Why do we need F-16s or other aircraft to counter this threat to protect our cities and villages? Inat noted that aircraft bombs of such type can cause more damage than missiles. Patriot air defense systems can help Ukrainians protect themselves, but plenty of such systems would be needed. The planes are mobile. They can scramble to intercept the same bombers and, with missiles with a range of more than 150km, chase away at least those planes and prevent them from dropping these bombs. That is why we need modern fighters. Because our Soviet planes cannot do this, he emphasized. On the 4th of March, the Defense Express Agency, citing its sources, reported that a few weeks ago Russian troops used a new and quite dangerous weapon against Ukraine for the first time. These were UPAB-150Bs, 1500kg gliding bombs.
