"France Expands Military Support for Ukraine Amid Russian Threat"
France is considering transferring hundreds of AASM Hammer precision-guided bombs to Ukraine, which would provide the Ukrainian military with enhanced range and accuracy. The AASM system includes guidance kits and a range extension modification, allowing for satellite, thermal imaging, or laser guidance, as well as airburst detonation capability. This potential transfer comes alongside French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement of a new batch of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles for Ukraine.
