“Some mentioned huge blasts” (GLSDBs hitting Russian Artillery)

I wish I had the link to a video clip I saw on FR yesterday, of a couple of side by side Grad MLRSs blowing up.

Impressive blast wave effect, surprising fireball.

(insert “blowed up real good” gif here)

Perhaps the link below shows a GLSDB impact.

The video was taken by a SHARK UAV which can laser designate the target.

Also note that some of the GLSDB variants have laser guidance.

Looks like Europe is forming a naval coalition similar to Biden’s failed Operation Prosperity Guardian. Seems they just don’t want to be seen as being subservient to the US. I’m sure they will still take advantage of our C5ISR systems, but won’t report directly to CENTCOM. IMO, this is good. Europe needs to start taking steps to be independent, and a Common European Army should be their long term goal. Maybe this is a baby step in that direction.
