Ukraine's Vyrivnyuvach Glide Bomb Expands Carrier Options, Targets F-16/Mirage Certification

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.

Ford Seeks US-Built Advantage in Fresh USMCA Talks

Ford CEO Jim Farley urged negotiators to reward automakers that mostly build in the U.S. under a reworked USMCA and to penalize those that rely on imports, as talks reopen.

Trade groups urged a stable extension of USMCA amid a broader administration review of the pact, underscoring the auto sector’s importance in the talks.
