Intensified air combat occurred last week between Russia and Ukraine. Russia focused on Ukrainian frontline positions and civilian infrastructure using long-range glide bombs. Ukraine launched counterstrikes targeting Russian headquarters and drone pilots using NATO-standard munitions, including US-made GBU-62 and French AASMS glide bombs. Strikes resulted in reported Russian casualties and damage to infrastructure. While Russia conducted numerous air strikes daily, Ukrainian air strikes, though fewer, showed a surprising increase in effectiveness.
