U.S. sending new long-range precision bombs to Ukraine with a range of up to 90 miles (145 km)

Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs. They're expected to arrive in Ukraine tomorrow

Just testing to see if they actually work?

Ukraine will receive its first batch of Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs, a brand new long-range weapon made by Boeing that even the U.S. doesn’t have in its inventory, according to the four people, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss matters ahead of an announcement.

So, Northeast US to Texas is not in range. Yet.

Escalation, always escalation.

[SaveFerris]

World War III is coming - multiple fronts too, it seems - at least initially

[silverleaf]

How long before they start killing civilians in the eastern former Ukraine, and in the RF?

[silverleaf]

Every time their weapons range increases, so does the depth of territory Russia needs to demilitarize and annex…

The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) is a weapon developed by Boeing and the Saab Group to allow Boeing's GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB), originally developed for use by aircraft, to be ground-launched from a variety of launchers and configurations. It combines the SDB with the M26 rocket, enabling it to be launched from ground-based missile systems such as the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System and M142 HIMARS. It can also be fired from its own launch container, allowing it to be fired from sea.

We appear to be governed by a clique of hysterical old women.

That should finally swing things in Ukraine’s favor and allow them to march right into Crimea.

[lgjhn23]

Need to be testing that to protect our southern border. F Ukraine.

Zelensky will never agree to a cease-fire and peace negotiations with Biden’s constant pushing him on to more death and destruction.

[McGruff]

Imagine the outrage if Russia sent something similar to Iran.

[bert]

Russia lacks the military capability to make war wxcept with missiles and drones

[bert]

Russia has nothing to send to Iran.

The Russian arms business is no more since the world knows their products are not up to current snuff. By going to war, Putin destroyed his main non oil export product line

[Mariner]

Where did the money come from?
What is the Congressional authorization.

[Karl Spooner]

I see these are GPS guided. Ever wonder why the GPS guided JDAM "game changer" bombs that we sent to Ukraine are never mentioned? This is why...the Russian are smarter than the US.

Russia jamming U.S. smart bombs in Ukraine, leaked docs say

"American-made smart bombs are falling victim to Russian electronic jamming in Ukraine, causing them to miss their targets, according to leaked documents and confirmed by a Defense Department official."

The news adds to an increasingly bleak picture of the state of Ukraine’s military that has emerged from a trove of top secret intelligence documents that leaked on social media and came to light over the past week. The documents show that Washington has grave concerns about Kyiv’s dwindling ammunition and air defenses, which could cause it to fall short of its goals for the anticipated spring counteroffensive."

>> so does the depth of territory Russia needs to demilitarize and annex…

Russia needs to be decolonized and broken into 20 non-sharp pieces.
