The next U.S. military package for Ukraine is rumored to contain Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb a long range precision munition. This thread will try to explain why this could be a game-changer.
The next U.S. military package for Ukraine is rumored to contain Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb a long range precision munition. This thread will try to explain why this could be a game-changer.
With the current front line, these munitions that have a maximum range of 150km would essentially cover the entire Ukrainian territory occupied since February 2022 and even parts of northern Crimea.
This puts a lot of important and well-known targets within reach of these systems. Here is a list of a few that I think are significant.π
DZHANKOY Air Base:
This air base is one of the main Russian air bases used to attack Ukraine. Su-25s and helicopters operate in southern Ukraine from Dzhankoy. The base also regularly hosts heavy transport aircraft.

SOKOLOHIRNE train station:
Areas outside the range of the GMLRS have become "safe zones" for Russian forces. In these areas, they can set up logistical centers in full view and with absolute impunity. Striking these sites would be a big blow to Russia.

BERDYANSK airfield:
The same is true for heliports, such as this one, which has recently been set up in Berdyansk. Russia feels safe because of Ukraine's limited long-range capabilities.

LUHANSK:
Luhansk city is beyond the reach of the Ukrainian GMLRS. Several very important targets are located in the area. Soldier housing, command centers, vehicle parks, fuel depots, train stations, and a heliport would be in range with these new systems.

Should Ukraine eventually get these weapons, Russia will no longer be safe anywhere in Ukraine (except in Crimea). The Russians are afraid of HIMARS systems, so imagine with this new Ukrainian capability. The Russians will be targets as soon as they set foot in Ukraine.
I think GLSDBs could really have a huge impact on the battlefield!
