I just saw you added a link to what those air-to-ground munitions are: JSOW glide bombs. Russia has been using their glide bombs to good effect, I'm glad to see Ukraine is getting more† as well. They are one of the proven effective tools for this war, given the non-permissive air environment both countries find themselves in.
