Recently, publications have been published literally daily in the American press regarding the "consideration of opportunities" for the supply of new types of weapons to Ukraine by the United States administration. One of the untwisted stories is related to publications about the alleged readiness to supply Kiev with Patriot air defense systems in the form of a single complex. Then in the same press they began to refute such readiness of Washington. Now they are writing about other supply options from the USA.

The Washington Post published an article by columnist Dan Lamothe, in which he writes that the United States is ready to transfer equipment to Ukraine that "will turn aviation bombs into precision weapons." We are talking about JDAM systems.

These sets of equipment have been produced in the USA since 1997 and are a set based on providing ammunition with GPS global positioning systems. These kits allow you to make a much more accurate weapon out of a conventional gravity (free-falling) aerial bomb.

The JDAM kits also include an additional tail, the installation of which on an aerial bomb is carried out in factory conditions.

Among the operators of such weapons, in addition to the United States themselves, are Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Germany, Australia, Portugal, Poland and others. Moreover, these are the countries that are armed with NATO-style aircraft. To date, there have been no known cases in which JDAM equipment kits would be installed on Soviet-style bombs or when Western bombs with such additional equipment would be used on aircraft developed by Soviet aircraft designers. If such kits are transferred to Ukraine, it will be extremely interesting to find out on which aircraft they will be used.
