Ukraine is striking deeper inside Russian-controlled territory with hard-hitting glide bombs. Recently, Russian drone storage site in Donetsk city was only possible because previous raids cleared a path through Russian air defenses. That the Ukrainians targeted a Russian drone depot isn’t surprising. Ukrainian forces frequently target Russian drones before they even reach the front line. There were at least two major raids on drone storage at Donetsk airport last month, Euromaidan Press media outler recalls. What’s surprising is how the Ukrainians targeted the depot just northwest of Donetsk city, some 40 km from the front line. According to one observer, the attack involved a mix of SCALP-EG cruise missiles and GBU-39 glide bombs. The 1,300-kg, French-made SCALP-EG, launched by the Ukrainian air force’s small fleet of ex-Soviet Sukhoi Su-24 bombers, ranges hundreds of kilometers under inertial and satellite guidance. It’s not terribly difficult for a missile-armed Su-24 to hit Donetsk airport from a launch point safely inside Ukrainian-controlled air space, even the Su-24 is flying low to avoid detection. The 130-kg, American-made GBU-39 is another matter. The satellite-guided bomb can range more than 100 km on its pop-out wings—but only when dropped from high altitude. From low altitude, the bomb may range just 40 km or so. For the Ukrainian air force to hit Donetsk airport with GBU-39s means one of two things. Either the launching planes flew high and fast as they vectored toward the airport. Or they flew low—and got close. Either possibility points to a serious problem for Russian air defenses in the east. A plane flying at high altitude should be an easy target for enemy air defenses. By the same token, a plane flying low directly over territory the enemy controls should also be an easy target.
Ukrainian and American contractors have modified the Ukrainian air force’s Soviet-made Sukhoi Su-27 and Mikoyan MiG-29 fighters to carry GBU-39s. The air force’s ex-European Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters are also compatible with the highly accurate bombs. That the Russians couldn’t stop Ukrainian jets from lobbing GBU-39s at a target 40 km inside Russian-controlled territory underscores how badly Ukrainian forces have degraded Russian air defenses in recent months. Systematically striking Russian radars, surface-to-air missile batteries and mobile air defense systems all along the 1,200-km front line of Russia’s 50-month wider war on Ukraine, Ukrainian forces are “collaps[ing] the layered defensive architecture that the Russian integrated air defense doctrine depends upon to function,” according to an in-depth investigation by Tochnyi.info. Hundreds of kilometers inside Russia, oil refineries burst into flames, and the sky above airfields and weapons factories is filled with thick black smoke.
These scenes, increasingly frequent in videos related by the Ukrainian military over the last several months, are the visible results of an expanding Ukrainian deep-strike campaign. Its objective: hit critical military and industrial infrastructure far inside Russian territory, bringing the war directly onto its soil. The secret behind these hits lies in other videos showing what came before: grainy black-and-white footage showing Ukraine’s unmanned systems striking Russian radars, weapons systems, and command centers. This parallel campaign relies on midrange drones degrading Russia’s air defense umbrella by targeting the systems that detect, track, and intercept incoming Ukrainian attacks.
