thats very expensive for ~1500 jdam kits. lets see what else is being sent... > The following items will also be included: FMU-139 fuze systems; JDAM support equipment; spare and repair parts, consumables, and accessories, as well as repair and return support; weapons software and support equipment; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; transportation support; studies and surveys; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. i wonder what the details there are, not that we will ever know (or should, of course).

Continual support / updates to the [Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Launched_Small_Diameter_Bomb) They didn't work very well at first, but the USA didn't just give up on them. The 'classified and unclassified documentation' part likely has to do with integration of the jdam to soviet aircraft. 'Studies and surveys' would be regarding both effective use of the jdam, as well as the aforementioned continual support of GLSDB.

The war in Ukraine has been invaluable to so many countries' defense developments. In some ways, donating fairly modern equipment probably pays dividends because of the information gained.

Yes and no, its great for testing your 'products' under real conditions, but also might give the technology involved to Russia and friends.

WesternBlueRanger May 5, 2026 +27
My understanding is that the Ukrainian Air Force are more reliant on Western fighters, as it is easier for them to get a hold of parts and weapons for their Western aircraft. Basically, the bulk of air missions are now being done by their fleet of F-16's and Mirage 2000's. whilst their Soviet era legacy fleet are starting to time out.

sumeone123 May 5, 2026 +29
Ukraine is already a leader in drone tech. They have some very cost effective drone solutions to one-way attack drones like the Shahed which are giving the US and the gulf countries such trouble: such as the [P1-Sun "D***/P****", D1L-Duck "D****", and UEB-1 "F*****"](https://x.com/414magyarbirds/status/2037114122987327918). Some countries seem to have realized the true potential and threat of c**** one way attack drones - especially the Gulf states which have been getting pounded over the last few months - [with the Gulf States signing deals with the Ukrainians, trying to leverage the Ukrainians' expertise in drone interception warfare, and effective interceptor models](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/74292). The crucible of war is the best motivation for effective innovation, and the drone arms race between Russia and Ukraine is breakneck and has already altered modern warfare, much to the US's chagrin in its' latest misadventure in Iran.
29
Donnicton May 6, 2026 +19
They've also made a deal with Norway to manufacture drones there, and are working with Japan who is *very* interested in Ukraine's drone tech as a cost-effective deterrent to China. They are going to become a major power coming out of this conflict. >much to the US's chagrin in its' latest misadventure in Iran. No doubt this is due to Hegseth and his idiot "Warrior ethos" doctrine - probably thinking drones cowardly and beta or some shit and suppressing smarter heads as a result, but it's still impressive to me how much the US watched the landscape of war change since the start of the war and seemingly took away f****** nothing from it.

Congress: what we need is MORE tanks. And also every missile should cost cost no less than $500k per shot and take two years to produce.
8
Chonkalonkfatneek May 6, 2026 +2
We do need more tanks, but modern redesigned ones that take into account the way war has changed. Reduce the thickness of the Frontal armour and distribute it far more evenly, with roof cages/nets as standard. The Ukrainians themselves still use tanks, yes in a more limited role, but they still provide vital mobile fire and more critically a distraction that can soak up fire and drone hits while the infantry and/or UGVs do their jobs. Look at Sweden STRV122, one of the most liked tanks by Ukraine because it comes with thicker roof armour standard. We certainly need to invest in cheaper missiles and drones too.

wrosecrans May 5, 2026 +12
They'll be a pretty massive military exporter, so the international community will still be paying for a lot of Ukraine's arms industry, just as customers. Basically everybody who can't buy US Tomahawks but isn't buying from Russia/China will be buying Ukrainian Flamingos and Neptunes. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a bunch of countries buy into Ukraine's battle management systems, and the question for every other country selling weapons systems will be "does it integrate with Delta?"

hotdirtywater May 5, 2026 +7
perhaps it is to return a bad kit in exchange for a new one? like amazon return support sorta thing? or maybe that whole line is just the name of a program the pentagon offers and in reality only part of it applies for this particular deal?

NeoThermic May 6, 2026 +1
It's as you say. Have a faulty item in your chain? Return it for a replacement. It's one thing to give someone \~1500 bombs, it's a different class of contract to provide replacements and service techs.

*"thats very expensive for \~1500 jdam kits. lets see what else is being sent..."* ABSOLUTELY. Ukraine should "do a China"; as in, take a kit apart, re-engineer it (with changes they want), then mass produce it *locally* at FAR LESS than $2 million a pop.

hotdirtywater 6 days ago +1
after a day or 2 of thinking about it, im wondering if these are actually the new jdam LR instead of the jdam ER like is being reported here. the LR are closer to that ~240k price tag and have a turbojet, making them even more useful for ukraine. plus they are VERY new, so ukraine might be testing them out for us on a larger scale as part of the deal.

imjustsurfin 6 days ago +1
Ukraine has always had a very well educated workforce - they built a huge chunk of the former Soviet Union's ships\\planes etc. During this war with Russia, they've shown that they are extremely good at innovating, manufacturing, and deploying, at speed and at scale. It's well within their ability to produce, with EU\\UK support, "a generic" JDAM system suited to their needs. The EU\\UK have to reduce\\eliminate it's reliance on the US, as tRump see's THEM as the "enemy, and the US is no longer reliable\\trustworthy.
1
entropy13 May 6, 2026 +1
Yeah I’d assume that marginal cost of future weapons will be much lower, or at least I hope so. That works out to like $200k a unit when the whole point is a jdam only costs like $30k.

Defense Secretary [Pete Hegseth ](https://thehill.com/people/pete-hegseth/)on Wednesday said $400 million in Ukraine support was released after Sen. [Mitch McConnell ](https://thehill.com/people/mitch-mcconnell/)(R-Ky.) penned an [angry op-ed](https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5854101-mitch-mcconnell-criticizes-pentagon-ukraine/) criticizing the stall in funding.  “The department recognizes that $400 million was allocated for European capacity building, and as of yesterday, it has been released,” Hegseth said in response to a question about the aid from Rep. Sarah Elfreth (D-Md.). [https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5856026-pentagon-releases-ukraine-aid/](https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5856026-pentagon-releases-ukraine-aid/) Just this week

Meaning Ukraine got a Raytheon / General Dynamics / etc.. Gift Card with $400 million on it. Seriously that's how "foreign defense spending" works. The US rarely gives the money directly to foreign countries and instead just puts it in a charge account to be used at the shopping mall call Foreign Military Sales.

it sickens me that we aren't doing more tbh. I donate personally to Ukraine's efforts, but I don't expect everyone to do so. $400m is underwhelming though. We sent much more to Israel. We should be sending billions. Raytheon stock to the moon! 🚀

jywchoe May 6, 2026 -31
We have already sent \~200 billion dollars of aid to ukraine since the war started. That dwarfs what we have sent to Israel for the past 30 years in military aid. What does this have to do with Israel anyways?
-31
tobiascuypers May 6, 2026 +12
https://www.cfr.org/articles/us-aid-israel-four-charts A simple search shows otherwise. Estimate ~300 billion. Largest receiver of US foreign aid. Another 100 billion could be used well in Ukraine, is probably what the commenter is implying.
12
jywchoe May 6, 2026 -17
Your article doesn't discredit what I said. Israel was founded in 1948, it has since received 300 billion dollars in military aid. That is 80 years. I said the last 30 years. Ukraine has received 200 billion in the last 5 years. Again, I don't see what any of this has to do with Israel. I don't know why Listnookors keep bringing up Israel. But, it goes against the far left and far right narrative that we aren't supporting Ukraine because Israel is controlling the US or something like that.

We can’t send unlimited amounts without rankling Russia too hard. Otherwise we could just bust a CSG into the Black Sea and enforce a no fly zone over Ukraine. The US’ concern is preventing the war from escalating. BEYOND Ukraine, not necessarily helping Ukraine win. If Ukraine wins that’s nice, but that’s not essential to US (or, frankly, EU) interests.

> Otherwise we could just bust a CSG into the Black Sea and enforce a no fly zone over Ukraine. A US carrier strike group cannot legally transit the Bosphorus into the Black Sea because The Montreux Convention, and it's also physically impossible with modern carriers. On top of the structural restrictions, Turkey has actively invoked Article 19 to limit all military traffic since the war began. Besides, there's no technical need for a CSG to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine. The US already has substantial air assets within the range from existing NATO bases in Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, and aerial refuelled jets could easily reach Ukraine from larger bases in Italy and Germany. F-35A has an unrefuelled range of 1000+ miles.

So 240,000 usd per kit. Why is it so expensive?

IRefuseToGiveAName May 5, 2026 +19
So correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the kits themselves were actually quite c****, which is why JDAM munitions are so great. Dumb bomb smart suit. But the excess cost is rather the extras that come with it. >The following items will also be included: >FMU-139 fuze systems; >JDAM support equipment; >Spare and repair parts, consumables, and accessories, as well as repair and return support; >Weapons software and support equipment; >Classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; transportation support; >Studies and surveys; >U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. I'm not sure if those typically come with a package though. I'm almost entirely ignorant of anything outside of surface level defense stuff.
19
trplurker May 5, 2026 +6
The guidance system for the bomb is what is usually expensive as they are one use. Large amounts of high explosive with a proximity fuses are pretty c****. Just to put it in perspective, a JDAM by itself is $20\~40K each depending on size and quantity ordered. The guidance kit is about $40K, higher if ordered in low volume, making it almost twice the cost of the bomb. But if you read the article these aren't regular JDAMs, they are JDAM-ER's, meaning it can move laterally instead of just downward, this costs another $10\~40K depending on volume and bomb size with larger bombs being more expensive then smaller ones. JDAM's come in different sizes with the larger sizes upgrades being more expensive. It's still WAY cheaper then a $1\~4 million dollar cruise missile. My concern is what exactly is Ukraine going to do with these? They don't exactly have a high capability air force and droping bombs on your own country can be rather counter productive. I would think this money would be better spent on mobile artillary, APCs, drones, and other "c****" defense munitions.
6
hotdirtywater May 5, 2026 +7
they usually use glide bombs on russian trenches as well as various storehouses and HQ just behind the front lines (as in, within 30 km or so). sometimes stuff like jdam or hammer just work better than drones. they could really use some more stuff like storm shadow or taurus to penetrate some harder targets at longer ranges too.
7
trplurker May 6, 2026 -7
There are no trenches, this isn't WWI. This is an ugly protracted ground war were Russia is playing to win and Ukraine is playing to not lose. None of these battles are taking place in Russia, Ukraine isn't mobilizing an offensive to capture Moscow and conquer Russia. Weapons like this are used in offensive campaigns on enemy territory after you've disabled their anti-aircraft capability, the -ER version only has a 71km range. Amazing for a bomb but still puts regular non "stealth" fighters inside SAM range. The way these are used is you first use expensive cruise missiles or stealth bombers to disable SAM, then fly in the bombers and drop JDAMs are things you don't want the enemy to have. And while I'm positive Ukraine can find a "creative" use for them, that money could be better spent on APCs / artillery and other munitions orientated towards Ukraine's current effective strategy of bleeding the Russian military dry.
-7
McFestus May 6, 2026 +4
There are absolutely trenches along much of the front line. Both Ukraine and Russia have invested considerably in fortifying their positions, including earthworks like trenches.

hotdirtywater May 6, 2026 +10
whew, you said a lot that just isnt correct as far as i can tell based on what ukraine has said, done, and shown. there so lets go bit by bit here. > There are no trenches, this isn't WWI there are shitloads of trenches...we see trench assault videos plenty often enough to know its true. if you mean there are not miles long lines of ww1 style large open trenches, you would be correct. but there are a LOT of trenches in smaller tens or hundreds of meters long sets that are usually well concealed and covered. > This is an ugly protracted ground war were Russia is playing to win and Ukraine is playing to not lose. ok, not sure what that has to do with using glide bombs. > None of these battles are taking place in Russia, Ukraine isn't mobilizing an offensive to capture Moscow and conquer Russia. great, still doesnt mean they are not using glide bombs on the targets we have hundreds of videos of them striking with glide bombs. >Weapons like this are used in offensive campaigns on enemy territory after you've disabled their anti-aircraft capability well thats just not true in ukraine, we have LOTS of videos of glide bomb strikes on both sides and both sides still have aa (with russia obviously having much more) >the -ER version only has a 71km range. Amazing for a bomb but still puts regular non "stealth" fighters inside SAM range. again, they use them for targets on or just behind the front lines. we have plenty of video evidence. >The way these are used is you first use expensive cruise missiles or stealth bombers to disable SAM, then fly in the bombers and drop JDAMs are things you don't want the enemy to have. thats the way the US uses them, and its great and sensible for the us. thats not how ukraine uses them, since neither side has air supremacy. >And while I'm positive Ukraine can find a "creative" use for them, that money could be better spent on APCs / artillery and other munitions orientated towards Ukraine's current effective strategy of bleeding the Russian military dry. ukraine disagrees.

trplurker May 6, 2026 +3
I mentioned above but it's a matter of what bombs are best are doing vs Ukraine's current effective military strategy. Ukraine isn't going to be driving towards Moscow and conquering Russia, there is little need for munitions designed to destroy enemy infrastructure. The JDAM-ER only has an effective range of \~71km, ridiculously long for a bomb but still within SAM range of 85\~400km. Those aircraft are not stealth, they aren't going to be capable of getting those bombs into standoff range in the first place. Bombing yourself is generally a bad idea. Ukraine kinda wants to keep it's infrastructure, and there are **far** cheaper ways to strategically destroy your own stuff to deny them to the bad guy. If they just wanted to hit Russian positions on Ukraine territory, mobile artillery is far cheaper, more effective and doesn't expose your valuable air assets to MANPADS or portable SAMs.
3
cantdecideonaname77 May 6, 2026 +3
I dont know about that, the russian glide bombing campaign has been fairly successful(if you dont look a the su34 loss numbers) despite their gbad systems being broadly similar in capabilities so I assume ukraine will use them similarly to russia

hotdirtywater May 6, 2026 +3
they have been, they are very effective for ukraine as well.

trplurker May 6, 2026 +1
It's not that bombs aren't effective at stationary targets without AA, it's that you generally don't want to bomb yourself. Remember this is happening on occupied Ukrainian soil, you generally want to use bombs on the enemy soil. The best use I can see is against Russian supply depos near the border, get your old aircraft close enough to just hurl these then run away. The bigger point is that money could of gone to more useful munitions.
1
IRefuseToGiveAName May 5, 2026 +2
I'll cop to skimming, but I appreciate your explanation. And I guess to your last point I hope they've got a plan because that's not a trivial amount of money. For example, as you pointed out, that's a shitload of Bradleys/apcs, their fuel and ammunition to load them with.

Frankly the USA should hang their head in shame. Who could have imagined even a decade ago that they would be giving any support to Russia going on an invasion spree with it neighbors? The world has now changed forever. Europe (the world?) will NEVER trust the Americans again and the Americans will be the ultimate losers.

jywchoe May 6, 2026 +7
Russia's invasion spree started in 2008 with Georgia. In 2014 (over a decade ago) Russia invaded Crimea (Ukraine) and the only action that the West did was increase sanctions against Russia. Russia was allowed to continue to sell oil to Europe and even host the World Cup. So... you definitely have recency bias because the US stance towards Russia has been pretty weak since about 2008.

Yang_KaiKai May 6, 2026 +7
Israel is also a major * because the aid is more like a rebate. Its a reduction of US profit on arms sales to Israel, not your typical aid.

Seit Anfang 2025 kommt effektiv nichts mehr aus den USA für die Ukraine an. https://www.kielinstitut.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/ Die Europäer und andere bestellen effektiv amerikanische Waffen für die Ukraine. Die USA verdienen an den Waffen - wie immer.

this is a sale, ukraine is buying this stuff, not being given it. tho we should def be angry at trump for not supporting ukraine (as well as a million other things), since he has refused sale of many things to ukraine in the past, besides cutting off all free aid and support.

Ohhhh, so instead of using that money to help people suffering at home, we used it to make bombs. How is that better? Lol gtfo

Any chance Ukraine is forcing US to the table with this sale, or JDAM is more of the same? I can’t imagine Ukraine isn’t holding more Russian refinery attacks over the US’s head.
