After a year and a half of fighting in Ukraine, Russia needs to replenish its supplies of ammunition for what could be a long war of attrition.
Russia has used the Shahed exploding drones to strike Ukraine’s infrastructure for more than a year. After the initial surprise, Ukrainian air defenses have honed their skills in engaging them, but the cheap and simple drones that have a range exceeding 1,500 kilometers continue to inflict significant damage.
Russian arms manufacturers have compensated for at least some of the equipment losses in the conflict and developed some new products, including satellite-guided gliding bombs and other precision weapons to fight back againstEarly in the war, broad use of drones by Ukraine inflicted heavy losses on Russian forces and played a significant role in Moscow’s military setbacks. Russian officials acknowledged they hadn’t paid enough attention to drones before the war and vowed to fill the gap quickly.
Russia has adapted 500-kilogram bombs, using them to fend off the Ukrainian counteroffensive. It has worked to design a similar conversion for a 1,500-kilogram bomb, reportedly using it for the first time this month. Transformed into a gliding bomb, it is reportedly precise to 5 meters and leaves a 15-meter crater — a powerful weapon against Ukrainian military assets.
