The new US military assistance program for Ukraine includes, among other things, M7 Bradley BFIST fighting vehicles to target long-range precision weapons. At the same time, in the United States itself there are only 55 such machines.
The main difference of this modification is that the BMP has actually become a reconnaissance tool. It does not have a TOW ATGM, instead the M7 Bradley BFIST arsenal has a powerful laser rangefinder-illuminator and target detection system. This allows you to accurately determine the distance to the object of the upcoming strike and transmit relevant information to artillery units.
Targets are illuminated at a distance of up to 20 km.
Along with this, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive JDAM-ER long-range aerial bombs, which hit targets at a distance of up to 72 km when dropped from a height of 14 km. The ammunition is equipped with wings and a correction module, which allows you to plan towards the target.
The day before, the Ukrainian ambassador to Israel, Yevgeny Korneichuk, had spoken of Kiev’s plans to test the Israeli missile warning system. According to Korneichuk, work in this direction has been underway for about four months, but the transfer of the system to Kiev could take some time. A pilot project for Ukraine will be prepared within the next three months.
