With its dual-stage warhead system, the first part is designed to bust through hard or deeply buried targets, the second produces fragmentation damage at a specific level of a building or bunker, thanks to what the manufacturer says is the world's only multi-programmable fuse.
Those calling for its delivery to Ukraine say that with a range of over 310 miles, it will allow the targeting of Russian military infrastructure far behind the frontlines.
1) Ukraine's pilots are now learning to fly Western F-16 fighter jets.
2) Ukraine has sought F-16s since the early days of Russia's invasion and
3) Ukraine's Soviet-era MiG-31 and Su-27 are outmatched by newer Russian jets.
Ukraine President Zelenskyy has long said the country's long-term security hinges on its ability to compete with Russian air power. So Ukraine's allies, it was welcome news that Ukraine's pilots are finally flying F-16 fighter jets.
