During the tests, a Su‑24M fighter was recorded dropping a FAB‑500 bomb equipped with UMPK, reaching a range of 60 km, with plans to extend it to 80‑100 km under ideal conditions.

Key details:
Affordable cost: approximately $25,000 per unit, funded by Ukraine’s “Charity Fund for Advanced Technologies.”
Locally developed: designed by the Medoid design bureau, the module resembles Russian UMPK designs but is fully produced in Ukraine.
Resistant to electronic warfare: tests are underway with French navigation modules to bypass adversary jamming.
Although Kyiv also uses Western-guided bombs — such as the JDAM‑ER from the US, France’s AASM Hammer, and the GBU‑39 — mass deployment is limited by aircraft availability and frontline risks.
