Ukraine is set to enhance its air defense capabilities with significant acquisitions and upgrades. The Ukrainian Air Force will be equipped with US-supplied JDAM-ER extended range glide bombs, specifically modified for suspension on MiG-29 fighter jets. Additionally, the US Air Force has awarded a $23.554 million contract to Scientific Applications and Research Associates for the procurement of home-on-GPS jam seekers. These seekers, designed to counter Russian GPS interference, will be integrated into the JDAM-ER kits to target Russian GPS jammers. Furthermore, Ukraine will receive six high-performance TRML-4D radars from German manufacturer Hensoldt later this year, part of a deal valued over 100 million euros, aimed at bolstering the country's air surveillance and defense.
