Crimea and Kursk are in range from a launch in Ukraine. Moscow is way out of range.

Better SDBs than SBDs, if you catch my drift.

Still Ukraine no matter what Putin says, and killing civilians, even if they wanted to they couldn’t catch up to what the muskovites have already done

Amazing

Russians attack civilian targets, a okay, Ukrainians attack Kremlin flag TERRORISM
Russians attack civilian infrastructure and energy grid, a-okay, Ukrainians attack Russian petro infrastructure call a U.N. emergency meeting.

Man, muskovite thinking and “logic” is stunning

No question, but the muskovites sure like to whine when the show is on the other foot.

I think the funniest is their claims in Israel, and everything they even remotely claimed was being done by them by many factors.

There just mad because the stolen housing market is not going well lol

Nobody left in Ukraine to use them like all other countries they came across the Biden’s border.

“Not in US inventory” as such because they are sort of cobbled together from other existing (in big quantity) parts / weapons.

What, we should be firing bombs 90 miles into Mexico? That’s nuts, almost as nuts as Biden’s border policies.

Russia already uses glide bombs to attack Ukraine. They have for some time. Only big difference is that they are aircraft launched for the most part if not all.

As for Iran, they have the tech to make similar if they wish.

Protecting large areas from GPS guided munitions requires big equipment, which is then very vulnerable to being spotted / detected and HARM’ed or area saturation attack.

So... Russia will successfully defend some original targets and obviously talk that up, and others will get hit. GLSDB’s are not terribly expensive and adding them in qty. makes defense significantly tougher, esp. as more area needs defending. “Stretch the defense”.

Hey, now!

The Dauntless was mostly Navy and Marine, not Chair Force.

They let the AAF doggies play with them, too.
