The previous GLSDB, which Ukraine received earlier, turned out to be vulnerable to Russian radio electronic struggle systems, which did not allow them to effectively impress goals. In this regard, 19 test launches of upgraded versions have occurred over the last weeks, designed to increase their resistance to muffling.
Reference: GLSDB is a high-precision managed ammunition with 100 miles (161 km) that combine the GBU-39 aviation bomb and a M26 missile engine. They allow Ukraine to strike Russian logistics centers and ammunition depots outside the front line.
These ammunition was purchased during the administration of former US President Joe Baiden as part of the Security Assistance Initiative Initiative initiative.
Prehistory:
- The US news agency Associated Press, referring to an American official and a Ukrainian deputy, reported that all long -range ATACMS ballistic missiles have already ended in Ukraine.
- The US government official reported that in total the United States has provided less than 40 such missiles to Ukraine and that they ended in Ukraine at the end of January.
