The testing of a bomb with a small diameter and a large radius of action ended in Florida in the United States on January 15. No one else in the world has such a weapon.
Boris Pincus, a member of the Republican Party, told Channel 24 that it could have been designed specifically for Ukraine. Probably, it is about American GLSDB bombs.
It Will Help to Destroy Occupiers in Crimea
“The bomb was designed specifically for Ukraine – the expectation is that Ukraine will be able to “hammer” the occupiers at least on its territory – in Crimea,” said the Republican Party member.
For instance, there are many military facilities of the invaders in the temporarily occupied Crimea. And, according to Pincus, until Ukraine starts hitting these facilities and begins to conduct a land offensive on the peninsula – we will not feel success.
“That’s why today such types of weapons are planned and coming in. I think the near future we will witness the results of Ukraine’s use of new types of weapons,” the Republican Party member summarised.
Earlier, on February 14, the Charter97.org website reported that the Ukrainian Defence Forces may have already started using US Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB), which the USA has adapted to strike at a range of 160 km.

If this weapon is as effective as everything else from the United States, then it will indeed clobber ruskies and their matériel.
It’s a SSM that is launched from HIMARS platforms? I hope they have enough of these. I sense that they need a lot more. And of course a shitload of these missiles.
But they presumably can’t be sent until or unless aid bill is unblocked?
Hoping for the best …..
Kyiv is fortunate that the administration of U.S. president Joe Biden paid U.S. defense firm Boeing and its partner, Swedish company Saab, to develop the GLSDB for Ukraine a year ago, before Republicans began leveraging their slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Scandinavia to the rescue, as usual. The fucking hungarian rats still did not approve Sweden’s Nato membership. The West is a fucking circus.
Orban is also blocking the latest EU sanctions.
You got that right, Mike. They should’ve stripped Hungary’s veto right months ago already. This is a complete disgrace.
These missiles are already in use, we just need to see the effect they have on the orcs.
Maybe you’re right. The Ukrainians often don’t say which weapon was used on certain strikes.
There are unconfirmed reports that this was the first use of the missiles.
