By the way, according to journalists, there are currently no MLRS in Ukraine that could use GLSDB, so along with the US missiles, they will most likely transfer new HIMARS launchers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

For those who are not in the know

GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) ismissiles for MLRS with a target engagement range of up to 150 km. The missiles are produced by the American company Boeing together with the Swedish company SAAB. Each GLSDB projectile is a combination of an M26 unguided rocket and a GBU-39/B SDB aircraft-guided bomb, which weighs approximately 115 kg. The GLSDB is propelled by an M26 rocket motor, and the GBU-39/B then navigates to the target using its built-in GPS paired with an inertial navigation system.
