Russia unleashed eight powerful glide bombs in just 90 minutes during attacks on the Zaporizhzhia region. These strikes once again highlighted a weapon that is rapidly becoming one of Moscow's most effective battlefield tools. And the most interesting thing is these were not expensive cruise missiles or ballistic missiles. Instead, they were glide bombs.... old Soviet-era bombs upgraded with wings and satellite guidance kits that allow them to fly dozens of kilometres before hitting their targets.
According to Ukrainian officials, Russia dropped around 8,300 glide bombs during July alone, the highest monthly total since the full-scale war began. That staggering figure suggests Moscow is increasingly relying on these relatively cheap but devastating weapons to wear down Ukrainian defences. So what exactly are glide bombs? Why have they become such a nightmare for Ukraine? And how has a war once dominated by FPV drones and trench warfare once again shifted in Russia's favour?
