The Ukrainian Air Force began to bomb Russian positions at the Avdiivka Coke Plant with JDAM bombs.

Ukrainian military Mykola Kolesnyk showed footage of the airstrike.

Mykola Kolesnyk said that at the plant, Russians had begun to equip their position, set up communications, command posts, electronic warfare systems, and pull up personnel.

“Russian invaders have just started setting up at the coke plant, they set up antennas, communications, EW systems, command posts, a bunch of stuff, and gathered there themselves, but something didn’t work out, so they need to do it again,” the soldier said.

A reconnaissance UAV of the LUFTWAFFE unit was used to adjust the fire.

The drone spotted a JDAM bomb hitting one of the buildings at the coke plant.

The Russian military occupied the Avdiivka Coke Plant in the second half of February.

The plant, one of the most fortified positions in the Avdiivka sector, was not stormed by Russian invaders and was left behind by Ukrainian forces when they withdrew from Avdiivka.

JDAM converts conventional unguided bombs into all-weather precision-guided munitions.

The JDAM kit includes an inertial navigation system and GPS receiver to improve accuracy, as well as small wings attached to the middle of the bomb, and a tail unit that has a tail section with aerodynamic control surfaces; it allows the bomb to adjust its course during its flight to the target. The unit houses navigation and other equipment.

After being released from the aircraft, the JDAM autonomously follows the determined coordinates of the target.

Ukraine received the ER (Extended Range) version, which has a target range of 72.4 kilometers. The exact nomenclature of ammunition is not known, but from the published photo, it is clear that there are 500 lb (230 kg) versions.
