According to several reliable sources, Azerbaijan will give QFAB-250 LG bombs to Ukraine. This is a move that is much to the dismay of Russia.
The QFAB-250 LG is a guided bomb jointly developed by Azerbaijan and Turkey. A collaboration between the Scientific Research Institute of the Ministry of Defence Industry and Aselsan, the QFAB-250 LG is laser-guided and has a range of 12km. It was designed for use with Azerbaijan’s Su-25s. These bombs will hand heavy precision strike capabilities to Ukraine’s remaining fleet of SU-25s, eight of which have been confirmed to be destroyed.
Russia has been supplying Azerbaijan’s adversary Armenia for years, often free of charge. Together with recent ceasefire violations, it’s easy to see how Azerbaijan has been spurred to retaliate.
