What Is Paveway IV? NATO Ally Hands Kyiv Laser-Guided JDAM-Style Bombs (newsweek.com)


Kyiv will receive guided aerial bombs that will "enable Ukraine to strike back" at Russia after Moscow's own modified ones shattered targets across the Ukrainian front line.

Newsweek understands that the Paveway IV is part of the package of 1,600 munitions that the U.K. promised to Kyiv earlier this week. It is not clear how many of the precision-guided bombs will make their way to Ukraine, nor when they will arrive.

The British government said on Tuesday it would commit its largest-ever tranche of military aid to Ukraine as part of a package worth £500 million ($622 million). The assistance will include further deliveries of Storm Shadow air-launched, precision-guided missiles, as well as vessels and vehicles.

The Paveway IV—the latest in the Paveway series of bombs—converts unguided munitions, also known as "dumb bombs," into precision-guided weapons. They can use laser guidance or satellites to find their way to a target.

The weapons have been used by British fighter jets in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Britain's Royal Air Force used Paveway IV bombs fired from Typhoon jets to attack two military sites belonging to Houthi rebels in Yemen in January 2024.

Long-Range ATACMS Secretly Handed to Ukraine Loom over Crimea Bridge (newsweek.com)

Ukraine has already used fresh long-range missiles secretly provided by the U.S. in Russian-controlled Crimea, according to a U.S. official, raising questions about the fate of the key Crimean Bridge that has long been in Kyiv's sights.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Wednesday that President Joe Biden had authorized sending a "significant number of ATACMS missiles" to Ukraine in February.

They were part of a $300 million aid package announced in mid-March, and they have already arrived in Ukraine for use within Ukraine's borders, he said. "We've already sent some, we will send more now that we have additional authority and money," Sullivan said.

The U.S. had already provided medium-range versions of ATACMS missiles, also known as the U.S. military's Army Tactical Missile System, which Ukraine debuted in a dramatic strike on two Russian airbases in Moscow-controlled Ukraine in October 2023.

ATACMS have long featured high up on Ukraine's aid wish list, giving Kyiv's troops the firepower to strike high-value Russian assets far behind the frontlines. They beef up Ukraine's long-range capabilities, alongside newly-committed batches of British Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles.
