The Ukrainian air force recently initiated the use of French-made AASM-250 'Hammer' guided bombs in its operations against Russian forces. This marks the first deployment of such weaponry in the conflict, with strikes targeting Russian positions near Avdiivka, specifically the Avdiivka coke plant, and in Kozachi Laheri in the Kherson region. The AASM Hammer family includes bombs of various weights, with options for rocket boosters and different targeting capabilities. France has committed to supplying Ukraine with 600 AASM-250 air-to-ground bombs, of which the first batch of 50 has already been delivered. The use of these precision-guided bombs represents a significant enhancement in the Ukrainian military's capabilities.
