Ukraine has turned its 40-year-old MiG-29 jets into deadly bombers using commercial tablets like the iPad. On May 26, 2025, Ukrainian pilots struck an FSB base in Belgorod with French-supplied AASM Hammer bombs, guided by cockpit tablets. This marks the first confirmed Ukrainian attack on an FSB facility.Using off-the-shelf tech for weapons guidance has allowed Ukraine to bypass costly upgrades, accelerating deployment of precision munitions like JDAM-ERs and Hammers. The integration was confirmed by U.S. defense officials at CSIS’s Global Security Forum in April 2024 and may represent a turning point in low-cost wartime innovation.Support us directly as we bring you independent, up-to-date reporting on military news and global conflicts by clicking here: / @themilitaryshow #militarystrategy #militarydevelopments #militaryanalysis#themilitaryshow
