Ukraine’s defense tech sector is preparing to scale up production of domestically developed guided aerial bombs (KABs), marking another step in the country’s push for homegrown precision strike capabilities. Defense company BlueBird Tech, working with a leading Ukrainian design bureau, announced on Monday it is moving the project into early engineering stages intending to launch serial production.

A guided aerial bomb (KAB) is a type of air-dropped weapon that can be steered toward a target after release, instead of just falling freely like a traditional bomb. According to the company, the project is designed to respond to frontline demands for more scalable and precise strike systems. “Every day, Russia uses hundreds of guided bombs. Ukraine must respond just as effectively. We see strong demand for such systems and understand how important they are for modern warfare. Therefore, first of all, we will begin serial production of Ukrainian-made guided bombs,” BlueBird. The development follows earlier reports that Ukraine’s Brave1 defense tech cluster had completed work on the country’s first domestically produced guided aerial bomb after a 17-month development cycle. The weapon is designed to strike fortified positions, command posts, and other high-value targets. The Ministry of Defense has already procured an initial experimental batch, with Ukrainian pilots currently testing deployment scenarios under combat conditions.
