Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs: Why This New Munition Can't Help Ukraine

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


February 9, 2024 (The New Atlas) – US Announces Transfer of Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs to Ukraine (Again)…

- GLSDBs were announced in late 2022 and expected to arrive in Ukraine some time in 2023 however this announcement suggests they are only just now arriving in Ukraine;

- Russia has already claimed to have intercepted GLSDBs transferred to Ukraine before this most recent announcement;

- The Western media admits Russia has had success both jamming and intercepting similar munitions transferred to Ukraine including guided rockets fired by HIMARS and JDAM guided bombs;

- GLSDBs are manufactured by joining relatively plentiful bombs and rockets, however, the process of joining the components together limits the number of GLSDBs that can be produced at any given time;

- Like other munitions provided to Ukraine, GLSDBs will face both quantitative and qualitative limitations falling far short of Russian equivalents;

      It appears to us, the unwashed masses who known nothing about warfare, that the collective West is launching its wonder weapons one by one, as some urgent after thought, or some sort of a day late and a dollar short new losing doctrine. It also appears to us, gross ignorants in matters of modern wars, that Russia has always acted in a coordinated manner since its SMO was launched. Russia had a quick invasion at the beginning, going as far as standing at the gate of Kiev (“Kiiiive” as it has become fashionable to name Kiev). Then the Russians retreated in an orderly manner, in face of an unexpected propaganda’s resistance from the collective West, which Russian’s regrouping allowed both the liberation of Marioupol, the taking of the Azovstal’s Nazi stronghold and a solid entrenchment from behind a constructed Sourovikino line. Then came some bloody battles, and now the Zelenski dictatorship in engaging into what the Jews are expert into: which is state terrorism, while hoping for some intimidating game changing wonder weapons to save the day and the Jewish lobbies. The international press has know a new mouthful of an acronym, which is the hopeful ‘GLSDBs’. It used to be ‘HIMARS and JDAM guided bombs’ as complicated naming’s or the lesser pedantic ‘F16′ and yet the Ukronazis are still losing and performing the Slavic ethnic cleansing. The beautiful Ukrainian race continues to be liquidated. In the end the medias of the collective West is smeared with blood on its own hands. Sad!
