Russia's use of guided aerial bombs (GAB) in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine has resulted in significant casualties and destruction, particularly in areas like Zaporizhzhia and Sumy. Over the recent weeks, Russia has significantly intensified air strikes, deploying thousands of drones, missiles, and guided bombs across Ukraine.

In response to the increased attacks from guided aerial bombs, Ukraine is seeking to reinforce its air defense systems and is calling for international support.
