Summary
Ukraine has cleared the Vyrivnyuvach guided bomb after operational testing and is already procuring it for service, adding a homegrown precision weapon for frontline aircraft.
90% of its components come from Ukraine, Europe and the United States, with local engineers building core elements from the wing structure to flight-control software and limiting foreign dependence mainly to chips and microcircuits.
DG Industry developed the bomb with Brave1 support over about 17 months, after work began roughly two years ago amid worries that foreign military deliveries could become unstable.
The current version has no engine and is integrated on MiG-29, Su-24 and Su-27 jets; adaptation for F-16s and Mirage 2000s is technically possible but would require manufacturer certification.
The program reflects Kyiv's broader push to replace imported systems such as JDAM-ER and France's Hammer with domestically controlled strike weapons.
