A video has been published online showing a successful attack by Ukrainian pilots on an occupier position in the Donetsk region. As reported by Censor.NET, the video shows the arrival of two French-made AASM-250 Hammer air bombs.

AASM-250 Hammer is a family of French precision-guided munitions developed by Safran Electronics & Defense. AASM is a kit that attaches to an unguided bomb and turns it into a guided one with a range of over 70 km. Modularity allows for the integration of various guidance units and various bombs. The basic version consists of a nose module with a guidance system and a tail module with fins and a rocket booster, which are used to equip a 250-kilogram bomb. The guidance system consists of an inertial system and GPS. Other options may have infrared or laser guidance for increased accuracy. There are also versions with 125, 500 and 1000-kilogram warheads. AASM entered service with the French Aerospace Forces and Navy in 2007, equipping the Dassault Rafale and Mirage 2000. Since March 2024, they have been actively used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to repel Russian aggression.
