the russians never thought that the ukrainian air force, which only had a bunch of broken fighter planes left, would have a day to upgrade its weapons. ukraine organized tens of thousands of troops to raid kursk in early august. in russia, the ukrainian army used more western weapons, and the power and intensity were getting stronger and stronger. recently, ukrainian air force commander mykola olshuk publicly stated that the ukrainian air force used mig-29 fighters to launch a raid on the russian military command post in kursk. although the russian military command post was built underground, the french "hammer" guided bombs launched by the mig-29 destroyed the russian military command post in one fell swoop.

the aasm "hammer", which shined in this battle, is the nickname of a series of extended-range glide bombs developed by france. it involves multiple models and was delivered to the russian army this year. "hammer" is a rocket-propelled bomb with terminal guidance and a medium-range air-to-ground guided bomb. from the design principle point of view, it is similar to the principle of the us military's "jdam" guided bomb kit, but a rocket booster module is added on the original basis, with a longer range. from a structural point of view, the bomb adopts an x-shaped layout at the front with 4 swept fixed wings and 4 trapezoidal rudders, and a rear rocket engine and an aerodynamic layout of 4 retractable enlarged trapezoidal wings and 4 folding wings in an x-shaped layout.

although french weapons have always been expensive, there is a reason for their high prices. according to reports from western media, the price of the "hammer" is even more than 10 times that of the american-made "jdam". the ukrainian army can only own this weapon because of france's free aid. of course, in terms of performance, the "hammer" also has advantages far exceeding the "jdam". in terms of range, it completely relies on the range of unpowered gliding, which means that the carrier aircraft needs to take risks to climb in order to ensure an effective attack. relatively speaking, the rocket engine of the "hammer" is more powerful. by installing a precision guidance kit on a standard aerial bomb, the "hammer" has achieved a gorgeous upgrade from an ordinary bomb to a precision strike weapon.
