Russia’s use of these humongous glide bombs on Ukrainian front line defenses have had a major role in their current offensive push on several axes. The effect was most devastating in Avdiivka and now in the battle for Chasiv Yar near Bakhmut.
It may not be the final answer to the problem but at least now the Ukrainians have come up with a way to mitigate the problem …. go after the warehouses where the kits for turning the old “dumb” bombs into “smart” bombs are … even in Russia proper. David Axes’ new post in Forbes Magazine is a good read on this.

This also plays well into the current Ukrainian strategy of disrupting and attriting Russian logistics even as they themselves re-stock and re-arm thanks to the new American aid and increased European assistance. Along this line, we can also see what the re-supply of ATACMS are doing to the Russians(longish video but the effect is tremendous):
Bend but don’t break, while slowly skinning the Russians. Slava Ukraini!
