Footage of the operation was shared by Discuss Warrior, a Wire channel related to Ukrainian combat aviation. The fly flew at an extremely low height amid the assault to ensure mission success and evade Russian defense systems.

At medium heights, airplanes can sidestep radar detection, particularly in conditions of poor visibility or in ranges protected by defensive radar systems with limited range. The MiG-29 quickly climbed to altitude within the launch range, engaged afterburners, and dropped the GBU-39 precision-guided bombs. Where the intruders had established a makeshift command center, a tree line was hit by the high-precision GBU-39 bombs.

These are compact American-made airborne bombs known for their high precision. As early as the final year, it became known that the Ukrainian Discuss Drive had adjusted the Soviet-era combat airship to carry and send the GBU-39. The GBU-39 bomb is more than 1.8 meters long, weighs about 130 kilograms, and has a width of approximately 190 millimeters. When dropped from a tall height, it has an extreme range of up to 110 kilometers.

The bomb is prepared with fold-out wings, which essentially amplify its strike run. Thanks to its tungsten tip, it can penetrate concrete covers during a dive.

The fuze framework permits selectable explosion modes — either an airburst or a deferred blast after effect. Its high accuracy is accomplished through a direction framework that combines inertial navigation with GPS.

Last year, the United States set an arrangement for unused clusters of GBU-39/B /B Little Breadth Bombs for its use as well as outside clients. The contract, estimated at up to $6.9 billion, covers the generation and conveyance of an unspecified number of GBU-39/B /B bombs, with fulfillment anticipated by roughly December 31, 2035.
