This appears to be a move to counter the UMPK gliding bombs Russia has started using recently to great effect against Ukraine.

Russia can launch these from Russian soil, safe from Ukrainian fire. These missiles will allow Ukraine to strike grounded planes and weapons stockpiles in Russia.

It’s an interesting move, considering the US has been telling Ukraine not to use any western long-range weapons against Russia directly.

    Like I said in the body, grounded planes and munitions facilities, not planes in the air
