The Ukrainian Air Force has released footage that confirms that it uses MiG-29 fighter jets to fire US-made AGM-88 Anti-radiation missiles at Russian targets.

U.S. officials confirmed that the U.S. delivered AGM-88 High-Speed Anti Radiation missiles to Ukraine and that the MiG-29 Fulcrum is employing these.

The images obtained from the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reportedly show Ukrainian Air Force firing U.S.-made AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile, or HARM, at Russian positions.

The AGM-88 HARM is an air-to-surface passive sensor missile designed to seek and destroy enemy radar-equipped air defense systems.

The AGM-88 can detect, attack, and destroy a target with minimum aircrew input.

The proportional guidance system hones in on enemy radar emissions and has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile nose.

A smokeless, solid-propellant, dual-thrust rocket motor propels the missile.
