TL;DR Summary

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. Eight Ukrainian companies are pursuing guided-bomb programs, with Vyrivnyuvach leading the pack and 90% of its components produced in Ukraine, Europe, or the US; microcircuits and chips remain imported. The effort aims to minimize foreign dependence while advancing domestic weapons capabilities.
