Ukraine may receive state-of-art NATO technologies, capable of destroying Russian glide bombs and drone swarms

Ukraine may receive cutting-edge technologies from NATO by the end of 2025. The Alliance has completed testing systems designed to counter Russian guided bombs and strike drones like the Shahed, reports Defense Express.

Iussia has extensively used guided bombs, especially the KAB-500 variant, often fitted with the Unified Gliding and Correction Modules (UMPK) glide kit. This kit adds pop-out wings and satellite guidance, turning old “dumb” bombs into glide capable of striking targets up to 60–70 kilometers away with high precision. These glide bombs allow Russian aircraft to launch strikes from outside the effective range of Ukrainian air defenses.

Western startups Alta Ares, Atreyd, and Tytan carried out the developments, which created a multilayered air defense system.

Alta Ares demonstrated a unique system for detecting and predicting the flight trajectory of guided bombs, while Atreyd and Tytan developed anti-air drones and swarms of interceptor drones.

The tests were conducted under the supervision of NATO’s Joint Command, as well as representatives from France and Ukraine.

In the first three months of 2025 alone, Russia dropped over 10,577 guided aerial bombs on Ukraine, marking an increase from previous months.

“Decisions are needed urgently — this will save lives and strengthen our defense,” military experts emphasize.

In 2025, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi officially confirmed that electronic warfare (EW) systems were successfully used to disrupt Russian guided bombs. 

EW systems do not physically destroy the bombs, but disable their targeting by jamming the satellite navigation used for guidance. As a result, the bomb loses orientation and misses its target.

Russia has tried to counter this by upgrading its UMPK with advanced Kometa-M antennas, increasing the number of signal receivers from 4 to 12. However, these enhancements have not produced significant improvements in accuracy.
