Military bloggers had previously speculated that it was an experimental weapon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ihnat said a &#8220;complex approach&#8221; of ground-based air defences and airborne assets is needed to keep Russian fighter jets armed with glide bombs away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Ukrainian Air Force has already successfully intercepted dangerous glide bombs on several occasions, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Russia&#8217;s air force relies heavily on glide bombs, which are dropped from a great height, out of reach of Ukrainian air defences. Equipped with wings, they glide to the area of their targets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The city of Zaporizhzhya, just over 30 kilometres from the front line, has repeatedly been attacked by glide bombs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/ukraine-intercepts-glide-bomb-zaporizhzhya-155427376.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine has successfully intercepted a Russian glide bomb in the southern region of Zaporizhzhya, Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat confirmed to<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/ukraine-intercepts-glide-bomb-in-zaporizhzhya-region\/07\/02\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42968,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42966"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
