"Flying like a drone": The expert explained what benefits the Armed Forces will have thanks to Glsdb bombs (video)
GLSDB bombs are different from the ATACMS long -range missiles provided by the US government, Musienko said. He explained that "first, they are smaller, secondly, easier to use, thirdly, they can fly out the window. " The expert illustrated the benefits of the bomb with a visual example. For example, you can imagine the headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which is held in some room.
If you beat the headquarters with traditional weapons, the bomb can fall on the roof, or near the house, and explode. If you have a Glsdb bomb, it can be directed exactly into an open window or through a hole in the wall. "It can fly like a drone into the window, and hit it. Or if there is a hole, it can also fly inside and explode there. This is a very important element and a feature of this type of weapons," Musienko explained. The estimated GLSDB delivery date by the end of 2023, the expert said.
"The manufacturer is completing the first part of the US order and preparing to transfer them to Ukraine. I think we will see their successful use in the battlefield by the end of the year. " It should be noted that the US government first mentioned the possibility of giving GLSDB in the winter of 2023. It was then that a new package of assistance to Ukraine with a size of $ 2 billion was stored.
But it was indicated that the corresponding bombs would order manufacturers - the American company Boeing and Swedish SAAB. GLSDB - Aircraft that can overcome the distance of up to 150 km. They are launched from the aircraft and they go to the target, guided by two devices: satellite positioning system (GPS) and inertial navigation system (allows to move autonomously in space without signals from the outside).
On October 18, it became known to provide Ukraine with another type of weapon - the long -range ATACMS missiles - it was reported in the White House. The statement was made shortly after explosions in the occupied territories - in Lugansk and Berdyansk. The General Staff of the Armed Forces confirmed that they had a blow 100 km from the front and destroyed nine helicopters. On October 19, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that Ukraine would receive ATACMS parties regularly.
It should be noted that the Pentagon, on the eve of October 18, stated that in the future they plan to announce such deliveries in the future. We remind that American analysts have published a report of the military capacity of the Army of China. The report states that the PRC plans to release 500 nuclear warheads by 2030 and will not stop there. Meanwhile, AP experts found out what Hamas terrorists fight.
