“Hopefully, the munitions package will include HARPOONs”

Got some particular fish in mind for harpooning?

In addition to the missile launchers of the Black Sea flotilla, the Kerch Bridge is going to need killing again.

...the Kerch Bridge is going to need killing again.

4xF-16s each with 2x2000# JDAMs.

If GLSDBs ever get in range, they would probably be able to knock the bridge out of commission.

Here's a link to a Boeing/SAAB marketing video for GLSDB. The video shows multiple launches from a launch canister that holds 4 GLSDBs.

IMHO, GLSDB is ready for customer acceptance testing.

I predict the U.S. Army will buy some of these as a gap filler/low cost munition.
