Based on past usage, and realizing that aircraft dropped munitions could change that(western doctrine doesn’t depend on ground based artillery to such a large extent and IMO, was one of the reasons 155 production was so low), Ukraine needs between 150k and 300k rounds per month to deal effectively with human wave tactics.
Curious if air launched cluster munitions will be part of munitions package and if the aircraft can get close enough to deploy them.
Is there any kind of wing package for air launched cruise missiles to extend range?
Those are the areas that ftrPilot seems to pay a lot of attention to have have knowledge about.
I agree...Combined Forces.
Also, western doctrine is accuracy is better than mass...Excalibur, HIMARs/GMLRS, GLSDBs, JDAMs, JSOWs, JASSMs, SDBs, just name a few.

To my knowledge, there are no long range (winged) CBUs. The aircraft would have to overfly the target.

IMHO, AGM-158B JASSM-ER is the answer.
