Armed Forces of Ukraine will soon receive long-range ammunition: what does this threaten Russia with

24

In the stream News concerning deliveries to Ukraine of the western equipment An interesting new detail has surfaced recently. After the announcement of information about the supply of tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Washington also started talking about the intention to transfer GBU-39 small-diameter planning bombs to the Kyiv regime. These bombs can be launched from HIMARS installations or their analogues, in fact, being one of the types of ammunition for this weapon.

The main danger of such bombs is the increased range of about 150 km. And if the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive them, then, despite all the current successes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, our fighters at the front may face additional difficulties. Moreover, this can happen much faster than the arrival of Leopards and other Western tanks in Ukraine. And since these bombs pose an even greater threat than conventional missiles to HIMARS, it is necessary to prepare for the appearance of these weapons in the Armed Forces of Ukraine now.



What are GLSDB shells


The GBU-39 bomb is a high-precision guided aircraft munition. Its peculiarity lies in the presence of wings that unfold in the air, due to which this bomb is able to plan in the air, correcting the direction of its movement. The GBU-39 is equipped with radar, laser and GPS guidance, which provide it with an accuracy of up to one meter. The warhead of this ammunition weighs about 93 kg, which is approximately comparable to the GMLRS high-explosive fragmentation projectiles.

The main "chip" of this bomb is the ability to launch not only from the air, but also from the ground. To do this, in the mid-2010s, Boeing engineers decided to “cross” the GBU-39 with rocket-propelled munitions for HIMARS. As a result of this, the GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) projectile was born, the name of which speaks for itself. This munition is equipped with a propulsion system from the M-26 rocket, which is capable of covering a distance of about 80 km. But once the bomb separates from the missile, it begins to glide freely, allowing it to hit targets almost twice as far away.

Armed Forces of Ukraine will soon receive long-range ammunition: what does this threaten Russia with

GLSDB is one of the most modern ammunition, which did not even really have time to enter service with the American army itself. It was developed in 2015 and has never been tested in combat. The bomb was used only at training grounds, and even then only a few times. Therefore, if Washington agrees to the transfer of this type of weapon to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this will become a kind of unique precedent when a third world country receives weapons from the United States that even the closest NATO allies do not have.

When can the APU have GLSDB?


For the first time, the supply of this type of bombs to the Kyiv regime was discussed back in 2022. In November, a similar proposal was put forward by the developer of GLSDB itself, the Boeing company. Smelling the smell of big money, representatives of this company themselves came up with a similar initiative, announcing that they would be able to quickly arrange the supply of a large number of such shells to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Then this proposal remained unanswered, but it is obvious that the Pentagon nevertheless calculated all the benefits from such a business project and are now talking about it again.

A new leak that Washington is going to send similar projectiles to Ukraine occurred on February 1, 2023 through the Reuters newspaper. They reported that the United States plans to send Kyiv a new package of weapons, the amount of which will be more than $ 2 billion. Among other things, this package will allegedly include GLSDB missiles, auxiliary equipment for the Patriot, Javelins and other weapons. Given the tactics that the Anglo-Saxons use when supplying weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another stuffing on this topic can already be considered quite plausible. And if this does not happen in the new package of military assistance, then there is no doubt that in the coming months these shells will still fall into the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

How can the appearance of this projectile affect the course of hostilities?


The danger of GLSDB projectiles lies not only in their range, but also in their accuracy. According to reports, this glide bomb is equipped with special systems that allow it to overcome electronic interference and detect even carefully camouflaged targets. It can be used in all weather conditions and is capable of hitting even moving targets. Probably all this is just speculation, since the GLSDB has never been used in real combat conditions. However, the capabilities of this projectile should not be underestimated.

As for the range, in this case, the appearance in the Armed Forces of Ukraine of weapons capable of hitting targets at a distance of 150 km will significantly increase the danger to our rear. It's no secret how many problems conventional missiles deliver to HIMARS, because of which not only fighters, but also civilians suffer. After their appearance, the RF Armed Forces had to significantly change their approaches to logistics, move a significant part of ammunition depots away from the front line, move command posts, etc. Now, this needs to be done again with an even greater retreat to the rear.

By and large, with the advent of GLSDB, the Kyiv regime will be able to strike at the entire depth of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, as well as on the rear cities of the DPR and LPR. At the moment, the distance from the nearest positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Armyansk is about 80-85 km, to Chongar - 130 km, and to Dzhankoy - about 150 km. Mariupol, Berdyansk, Torez, Lugansk and even Krasnodon with Rovenky will be in the affected area of ​​these shells. If anyone does not know, the last two cities in the LPR have long been considered a deep rear and are actively establishing a peaceful life.

The danger will increase not only for the new territories of the Russian Federation, but also for the Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk and even Voronezh regions. No one knows when the mad Ukronazis will come up with the idea of ​​committing a provocation at the next nuclear facility, which could be the Kursk nuclear power plant or other strategic enterprises located in these regions. And the fact that sooner or later this can happen, almost no one doubts.

In this regard, it is necessary to take all measures now in order to minimize the consequences of the appearance of such weapons in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Probably, not only we understand this, but also the leadership of our armed forces, which has recently begun to make an order of magnitude fewer mistakes and miscalculations. So let's hope that in the future we won't see hundreds of soldiers stationed in buildings with ammunition, planes crowded on airfields, or tanks driving in columns along public highways.

    It threatens Russia with big troubles. Especially when you consider that our Defense Ministry has shown that it cannot even defend Russian regions, let alone new territories. And they almost forgot about the goals of the NWO, as about pipe dreams.

    No matter how sad it sounds, but every cloud has a silver lining, I am 100% sure that if we don’t finish ours soon, crests will have such missiles and 100% they will launch them in our cities, you see, after the first arrival in Moscow or St. Petersburg, our line drawers finally something will start to itch and do something and not chew snot.

      How do you propose to finish in real life? It is obvious that the army of the Russian Federation is not able to defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to push in positions, yes, but not to defeat. So how to finish?

      You just have to give up nothing:
      1) all territories up to the borders of 2013.
      2) subscribe to the payment of "compensation for damages" in the amount of several trillion euros.
      3) put all strike weapons under the control of the "UN" ("guarantee of non-recurrence")

    then it is necessary to fulfill the plan of Minister of Defense Shoigu and move the capital beyond the Urals, but how else, the Kremlin cannot hit the Nazis who seized power on the outskirts, they are partners in peace negotiations with Putin

    And they will get it there. It’s better to go to the Moon. No one will interfere there, and Ukraine will not be given such long-range weapons for a very long time,

    And something else is important.
    While Shoigu showed parades with armats, NATO developed conventional boosters for glide bombs.
    Theoretically expensive, less efficient than rockets, but it works.

    But quite recently, they sang odes to the Russian "cast iron bombs" here and laughed at the weakness and high cost of Amer's missiles.

      (Dimon) Military developments are nothing compared to the fact that the EU is getting into a deep economic puddle, especially Germany, the former beneficial recipient of hydrocarbons, and the United States becomes the sole leader, and the euro is no longer a competitor to the US dollar. In this global project, the United States is drowning all NATO friends, except for England, which is actually played along by the Russian Federation. With such political inaction, in the end, the Russian Federation will also suffer huge losses, both political and economic. Why is it so, perhaps the fifth column in Russia dominates - to shake all these Nabiullins, Silyans, Lavrovs, sand and others, so children and a lot of money stolen abroad, what doubts there may be. On the topic of weapons, so far front-line, not even tactical weapons are being provided so that they kill each other more and longer - Ukrainians and Russians ...

    The order and how the REALLY auction will end can only be found out after signing some joint paper and what will be UNKNOWN there. Everything else is your guesses and nothing more, like someone's exorbitant appetites, etc. salt of the negotiations, so that even with bad cards to snatch more. This is a whole art.

    I have already expressed it earlier, in my opinion, it is necessary to bring to the attention of the opposite side that the RF Ministry of Defense reserves the right to deliver high-power strikes against Kyiv, communications and other places of concentration of military equipment and manpower of the enemy. As a result, it recommends that the population leave potentially dangerous places for life and health within 2 weeks. There will be no more warnings about the use of weapons of great destructive power. Such a warning will play its role, we will warn both the population and the troops, let them prepare.

    These projectiles will be aimed at the US satellite. In fact, this is the direct involvement of this country in the war. The hope that all the same, they will somehow respond to these challenges, and not draw new red lines, wave their hands and cry in the press that we have once again been deceived.

    The Kremlin doesn't care! He has been sitting in the trenches since June... They came up with an excuse that he was grinding Ukrainian troops on the spot...
