Russia has for the first time used a modern guided bomb on Poltava region: details of the attack

According to glavcom.ua: OSINT analysts suggest that the target of the attack could have been Poltava, as the bomb fell 20-30 km from the city, flying over Skorokhodove. The enemy used a gliding aviation bomb with a control and correction module, likely in a modification with a jet engine. The previous use of similar weaponry occurred on October 18 in the city of Lozova, Kharkiv region. The strike from a distance of 120+ km from the border indicates the use of hybrid weaponry, such as 'Grom-1' or its more modified versions with a range of up to 200 km.

This attack confirms the consistent modification by Russia of airstrike means to increase the range of impact and minimize risks for its tactical aviation.
