1/8 GBU-39 SDB precision guided glide bombs could almost be a game changer for Ukraine. Take by @joni_askola
2/8 russia's defense industry has seen few tangible successes in this war, but their glide bombs stand out as a notable achievement. These cost-effective weapons efficiently inflict substantial damage at the front lines.
3/8 Confirmation has been received that Ukraine's Mig29 fighter jets are capable of deploying GBU-39 SDB precision-guided glide bombs.
4/8 Ukraine encountered problems with russian jamming on the GLSDB, but it seems that the GBU-39 small-diameter bomb has shown resilience against jamming. Hopefully, a solution for the ground-launched version will be found soon.
5/8 This is fantastic news, as these bombs are both cost-effective and have been manufactured in large quantities. Additionally, they boast a longer range compared to most other bombs in Ukraine's arsenal.
6/8 Ukraine's allies have supplied JDAM ER, AASM Hammer, and Paveway IV munitions, all of which are crucial. However, the quantities are probably limited, so any additional supply is greatly appreciated.
7/8 The deployment of F16 jets is expected to aid in keeping russian Su-34 aircraft at a distance, as well as in enabling Ukraine to conduct more bombing runs on russian forces. However, there is still a significant journey ahead.
