Media: US plans to provide smart bomb kits, Patriot missiles to Ukraine

The United States plans to send Ukraine advanced "smart bomb” equipment that would allow it to target Russian military positions with better accuracy, senior US officials said, another significant step by Washington to help Ukraine fight off invading Russian forces, reported from The Washington Post.

The Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, uses global positioning devices for precision and can be bolted to other weapons. The move comes as officials also said this week that the Pentagon was preparing to provide Ukraine with a Patriot missile system, the US military’s most sophisticated air defense weapon.
