New details on Ukraine’s Vyrivnyuvach glide bomb show it can be carried by MiG‑29, Su‑24 and Su‑27, with ongoing work to certify use on F‑16s and Mirage 2000s. DG Industry-led development emphasizes increasingly multi-platform integration, though Su‑25 is not listed as a current or prospective carrier.
