Which aircraft can carry them?

According to @ChuckPfarrer's graphic, SU-24s will need to be modified to carry the JDAMs.

My guess is that the Ukrainian Mig-29s that have been modified to carry HARM missiles would be able to carry JDAMs without further modification.

The Slovakian Mig-29s, being delivered to Ukraine, have probably already been modified to carry HARMs and JDAMs.

The picture below shows a Ukrainian MiG-29 with a HARM...note the adapter between the wing pylon and the missile:

That adapter would also be used for JDAMs.

That is interesting I would imaging the software issues would be much more difficult than hanging the munitions on existing Soviet hard point.
Put a Buick v-6 onto a T90a trans for my 63 cj-5. All it took was an adapter plate

Setting up motor mounts, radiator, throttle and chokeā€¦. Took a bit more effort.
