Vyrivniuvach Bomb Consists of 90% Ukrainian and Western Components

Ukraine’s Vyriuvniuvach guided aerial bomb consists of 90% Ukrainian and Western components.

A representative of the Brave1 defense-tech cluster told The War Zone.

The aerial bomb was developed by DG Industry with support from Brave1. Virtually all of its key components were developed in Ukraine, from the wing assembly to the flight-control software. The exceptions are certain chips and microcircuits.

According to a Brave1 representative, around 90% of the bomb’s components are Ukrainian, European, and American-made. At the same time, the manufacturer has managed to avoid critical dependence on foreign components.

The Vyrivniuvach bomb is equipped with advanced guidance algorithms, although their specific characteristics have not been disclosed. Brave1 notes that, in terms of design, the bomb differs from both Russian and Western counterparts.

During development, the engineers studied existing systems, taking into account real-world combat experience and feedback from Ukrainian military personnel. As a result, the developers sought to combine the advantages of existing solutions while addressing their main shortcomings.

Unlike the French AASM air-launched bomb, the Vyrivniuvach bomb does not have an engine. It has not been disclosed whether a propulsion system will be installed on future versions.

The guided bomb was initially developed with compatibility with modern Ukrainian aircraft and weapons systems in mind. It is currently integrated with Soviet-era MiG-29 and Su-27 fighter jets, as well as Su-24 bombers.

Integration of the Vyrivniuvach guided bomb with Western aircraft such as the F-16 and Mirage 2000 requires certification by the aircraft manufacturer. At the same time, Brave1 notes that the bomb is technically capable of being deployed from these aircraft.

Development of the bomb in Ukraine began about two years ago amid concerns over the future availability of foreign-supplied weapons. By May 2025, following a series of successful tests, the team had confirmed the viability of the concept and decided to continue work on the project.

Overall, the development process from the initial concept to the creation of the first working prototype took 17 months.

It was recently reported that the Vyrivniuvach bomb has completed testing and is now officially being procured for use by Ukrainian aviation.
