Russians, now everything is getting much more complicated

These are guided missiles for direct attack with an extended range.
Ukraine's stockpile of these bombs, which hit targets up to 45 miles away thanks to deployable wing kits, is currently relatively small. However, those deadly missiles could even now represent a huge problem for the Russian army, writes "The War Zone".

However, for now it is not known which configuration of those missiles Ukraine received, basic or advanced.
The assumption is that their "head" is loaded with traditional bombs, but there is also the possibility that the "warheads" could be "quick-strike" mines converted into standard bombs.
It is also not clear which aircraft will be...
