Thanks to vastly improved electronic jamming devices, the Ukrainian military is increasingly managing to deflect deadly Russian hover bombs from their course, causing them to miss their target. So charges a well-informed Russian war blogger. Russia could thus rely less and less on what has hitherto been one of its greatest assets, on the front line. For more than a year, Russian hover bombs have been sowing death and destruction both on and behind the Ukrainian front. Thanks to the immense stockpile of old Soviet bombs with a warhead of 250 to even 1,500 kilograms, Russian bombers could drop as many as 100 of them a day. Ukrainian soldiers who heard them falling could do virtually nothing against them except take shelter in the hope that they would survive the deadly bombardment.

Military analysts, both on the Russian side and from the West, agree that last year's Russian advance in the Donbas is partly due to the massive deployment of tens of thousands of hover bombs. This involves making ‘dumb’ bombs smart
