Russia dropped 60 thousand guided bombs in a year: how the Armed Forces of Ukraine will counter the new threat.

According to ТСН: Russian troops have intensified the use of guided aerial bombs of various types, which this year will become one of the main threats.

Use of Guided Aerial Bombs

The head of the communications department of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ihnat, reported that in 2025, the Russians used 60 thousand such bombs. The monthly usage of guided bombs by occupying troops continues to grow.

'These are means that the enemy has been using for about two years, and the trend is increasing. We understand that there are not enough missiles in the world to deal with these bombs. However, there is already successful resistance to these means in various directions.'

Basics of Counteraction

Yuriy Ihnat emphasized that the main method of counteraction is fighting against Russian aviation. He noted that 'it is necessary to drive the carriers of such aerial bombs far away.'

It is important to add that in 2025, Ukraine had only four days without missiles and 'Shaheds' — two days in April and two days in May.

It is also known that last year, Russia launched over 60 thousand guided aerial bombs at Ukraine, about 2.4 thousand missiles of various types, and over 100 thousand drones.

This information confirms the escalation of the scale of military actions, including the use of new types of weapons. The increase in activity from the Russian Federation requires Ukraine to further mobilize resources to counter such threats.
