Comin’ Atcha! The AASM Hammer Bomb – A New Edge for the Ukrainian Air Force. The Ukrainian Air Force has been successfully using the French high precision AASM Hammer bomb since March 2024 – yielding significant benefits in certain areas of the front.
The AASM Hammer is not just a bomb, but a modular air-to-ground weapon system using high-precision aerial-guided technology.
It has been in French service since 2007, but Paris announced the transfer of these bombs to Ukraine in early 2024, with the aim to deliver about 600 over the course of the year, equating to 50 per month.
French weapons manufacturers have signaled their capability to push out higher numbers – up to 90 bombs per month – which now just depends on a green light from the French government. Negotiations are already underway to increase production rates.
Developed by the French company Safran Electronics & Defense, the AASM Hammer is based on an ordinary unguided bomb, to which a kit is added, which turns it into a smart munition.
