Ukraine appears to have integrated its domestically developed glide bomb kit—known locally as a KAB—onto the MiG-29 fighter jet, which remains a backbone of the country’s Air Force fleet, Ukrainian defense media outlet Defense Express reported.
A MiG-29 was recently spotted carrying a 500-kg bomb fitted with Ukraine’s KAB guidance kit, an indigenous counterpart to Russia’s UMPK system. The sighting suggests Kyiv is moving toward broader deployment of these weapons on its most numerous aircraft. It remains unclear whether the photo was taken during a combat sortie or a testing flight.
Earlier, Defense Express published footage of tests involving the KAB developed by the Ukrainian design bureau “Medoid.” At that stage, the weapon was mounted on a Su-24 frontline bomber, which was likely used only as a trial platform.
Ukraine’s inventory of Su-24M/MR bombers is limited, and today they are primarily tasked with launching Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles supplied by Western partners—a role that, in part, could eventually be filled by the French Mirage 2000.
United 24 media says by contrast, the MiG-29 is the most numerous fighter in Ukraine’s arsenal and benefits from fully localized maintenance and service support. The aircraft can carry 500-kg bombs, meaning that if the KAB is successfully integrated, the Air Force could significantly increase the frequency and scale of precision strikes.
This would not be the first time the MiG-29 has been adapted for guided munitions. Previous upgrades have allowed it to carry American GBU-39 bombs and French AASM HAMMERs. However, given the limited supply of Western-made weapons, Ukraine’s homegrown alternative could prove critical. Ukrainian engineers state that the current KAB can hit targets at ranges of up to 60 kilometers, with plans to extend that to 80 kilometers. The kit is designed for 500-kg-class bombs and is already reported to be cheaper than Western equivalents, even at the prototype stage.
Analysts suggest that earlier modifications to integrate foreign systems may have paved the way for smoother adaptation of Ukraine’s own weapons on Soviet-era jets. This raises the possibility that the KAB could eventually be fitted onto the Su-27, or that such integration is already underway.
For now, Ukraine’s Air Force reportedly requires at least 100 such glide bombs per day—a demand that foreign deliveries cannot meet. Domestic production of the KAB offers a potential solution, strengthening Ukraine’s capacity to sustain frequent, precise, and cost-effective airstrikes.
Earlier, Ukraine developed an advanced electronic warfare system known as “Lima” that can interfere with the navigation of Russian glide bombs equipped with the Universal Planning and Correction Module.
