The Pentagon is considering the possibility of supplying Ukraine with small-sized precision bombs GLSDB

The American company Boeing offered the Pentagon to organize the delivery to Ukraine of small-sized high-precision bombs, the so-called ground-launched small-caliber bombs GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb). This is reported by Reuters, citing sources in the military industry.

According to the agency, the Pentagon received an offer from Boeing, which is the developer of the GLSDB, and is currently considering the possibility of supplying these munitions to Ukraine. The company itself is ready for the mass production of this ammunition, which allows striking at a considerable distance without using aviation.

In fact, the GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) is a GBU-39В SDB small-sized guided aerial bomb used as the warhead of the M227 unguided 26-mm rocket for the M270 MLRS MLRS. The ammunition is launched from the same MLRS, at the highest point the bomb is separated from the rocket and then glides to the target, as if dropped from an aircraft. The range is stated at 160 km.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are armed with launchers for the use of GLSDB, these are the same MLRS HIMARS or M270 MLRS, supplied by European countries. Boeing proposes to start deliveries in the spring of 2023. However, this proposal runs into several problems that need to be addressed. Firstly, the US is not accustomed to concluding contracts immediately, the Pentagon needs to study the offers of other suppliers, compare prices, etc. Secondly, mass production of these bombs requires several suppliers to speed up the provision of parts and services, which is not currently possible. And, thirdly, the United States consistently opposes the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine for the same HIMARS, fearing that Kyiv will begin to strike deep into Russian territory.

There is simply no way to find out, to stop all deliveries for this Bueng, so that they would be subject to penalties from all customers! And then you see, they decided to test their devices in combat conditions on our soldiers, ungrateful pigs! (sorry for the semi-formatted vocabulary)

Boeing stopped deliveries from AVISMA at the beginning of the year. Yes, and AVISMA itself has problems - raw materials "for all these 8 years" came from Ukraine. Now they are being purchased in Africa, but so far the sanctions have not reached them. And they didn’t get there because Airbus, unlike Boeing, is still working with them, so the French asked not to complicate things.

So interesting, but what about the supply of our titanium for Boeing?

Boeing officially announced the suspension of purchases of Russian titanium back in March 2022. According to The Wall Street Journal, Boeing received about a third of the required amount of titanium from Russia. The remaining deliveries are made from the USA, Japan, China and Kazakhstan. However, it was in the production of civil aircraft that the share of use of Russian titanium was higher. (There is no data on the fate of the joint venture with VSMPO-Avisma - Ural Boeing Manufacturing (UBM) in the Sverdlovsk Region.)

[stelltok]

Other deliveries are made from the USA, Japan, China and Kazakhstan

The news was recently that Boeing, instead of buying titanium from the Russian Federation, will buy the same volume from Japan. Yeah. Where does titanium come from in Japan?
The joke is that the Russian Federation sells titanium in Japan.
Oh, this Boeing, oh, these fairy tales.

[tihonmarine]

Quote from stelltok

. Where does titanium come from in Japan?

In addition to Russia, there are many deposits around the world. India, Australia, China and South Africa (even Ukraine has one) lead in titanium mining, while the United States, Japan, China and Russia take priority in processing and smelting.

[stelltok]

1) So the product will be more expensive. The cost of goods produced in Japan is higher than in the Russian Federation. The Japanese are now the price is bent.
2) Shoulder delivery and logistics from Russia to Japan - cheaper than other options.
Boeing is losing.

[stelltok]

They will agree on wholesale and long-term supplies, guarantee demand and receive economic preferences.

Well, of course. The US knows how to squeeze its allies dry.
They are number 1 in this.

I have no doubt that Boeing knows what they are doing.

So knows that Airbus took first place in sales, and sales of the Boeing fell sharply.

And you continue to dream that everything in the world without the Russian Federation will fall apart and everyone will starve and die))

I didn't say a word about it.
You seem to want to believe in something.

[Timur_kz]

Does Avisma sell titanium in the form of raw materials there? Not finished products?

[Xenofont]

Let's hope the answer isn't price cuts and more deliveries to Boeing! The ruling liberda is ready to do anything to increase profits.

It would be more correct to say so, thanks to the "wise" foreign policy of the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the border regions of the Russian Federation will become a testing ground for weapons of the NATO countries.

[credo]

Don't say anything, Boeing's smart move.
Given that they had a failure with the latest aircraft models and, accordingly, their profits decreased, they decided to earn extra money on other products, since they pay for it in hard currency.

So Russia can also violate the treaty, Iran will be very happy with the Onyxes and Zircons, they are not very good with anti-ship missiles, and Kim can be fitted with something funny, and in general there are many who want to buy Russian missiles.

[Negro]

Quote from cold wind

The Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range Missiles (INF) has been terminated.

The RIAC has nothing to do with it. For themselves, Americans can develop anything, but they can SELL (or transfer) only up to 300 km. These are not only agreements, but also internal American laws. They can be canceled by themselves, but have not yet been canceled.

[KCA]

This is not the INF Treaty, but a treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and missile technologies

[solar]

The informal agreement on the 300 km limit applies to countries that are not members of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and is intended to prevent the spread of missile technology to countries that do not have them.
For countries participating in the MTCR, there is no such restriction. Therefore, for example, the States supply Tomahawks to England, both MTCR member countries.
In total, MTCR includes 35 countries, almost all technologically advanced, except for China and Israel. India was the last to join in 2016.
China, Israel, Romania, and Slovakia did not join the regime, but pledged to comply with its demands.
Ukraine joined the MTCR in 1998, so the restriction does not apply to it.

[voyaka uh]

No, it's more like a two-stage rocket.
The MLRS rocket throws a bomb to the maximum height in the direction of the target. Then it separates from the body of the rocket, releases wings and stabilizers and glides independently using GPS.

So soon there will be a bonba with a radius of more than 500 km

Hardly. This thing has a speed-to-range trade-off and a predictable flight path that makes it food for any air defense system, including new MANPADS. IMHO only against IKGSN there are chances, and even that is not a fact. As a weapon of terror of undisguised civilian objects, it will do, but nothing more.

Just this thing has a lot of potential. It flies quite quickly, silently, does not glow in the IR, it enters the target almost vertically. Plus, it can be launched in batches and, accordingly, overload any air defense. There are variants capable of hitting moving targets.

[D16]

The arrival speed is about 360 km/h. In the presence of a large wing, which increases vulnerability, at the expense of IR stealth is also not a fact. Still, it accelerates the engine from the Chimera, and this is supersonic, so it will have time to warm up. Chimera is much faster, more inconspicuous in the radar range and also comes in batches. Versions with radar and IR guidance are even more expensive with the same vulnerability

That is, all these indicators are much better than Geranium with Lancet. And even all sorts of answers to Helfaer.

[D16]

That is, all these indicators are much better than Geranium with Lancet

What indicators? Geranium has a range of more than a thousand miles at a minimum altitude. She can plan a route bypassing air defense systems, and with a strong desire to arrange at least a stellar raid on a worthy target. And for little money. You can launch a lancet at least from their trenches and bring it down even more difficult. The GLSBD starts as a MLRS, respectively, jumps 20 kilometers up into rarefied air and flies in ballistics, shining on the entire district until the speed becomes very subsonic. Then he will open his wings and begin to plan. At the same time, both Buk and Shell will shoot them down without problems.

all sorts of answers to Helfaer.

What are you talking about? Hellfire air-to-ground.

[Negro]

Quote: D16

What indicators?

visibility indicators.

Quote: D16

more than a thousand miles at a minimum height.

In order for the SDB to have such a range, it must be attached to the aircraft. So far, only 150 km have been approved.

Quote: D16

At the same time, both Buk and Shell will shoot them down without problems.

The first will be shot down (although this is not so simple), and the 12th is not a fact.

[D16]

visibility indicators.

Geranium and Lancet crawl above the ground. They are, by definition, harder to detect with radar. The lancet is electric and should not glow in the IR range. Judging by the videos for MANPADS, Geranium is also not a gift. In general, that Geranium, that the Lancet of a wunderwaffe in relation to dill air defense. GLSBD will be a nightmare for uncovered settlements, and militarily they will not affect anything.

[Alex_mech]

As well as Javelins, and 777, and Hymars. These won't work either. You can always build on the base another 300 new units. Or are we not playing StarCraft?

[Timur_kz]

Is there at least one evidence of how a shell or a torus shot down a chimera? The wings are small there, it is essentially a planning bomb, it will be extremely difficult to bring it down.

[D16]

Crew interview and video from the Shell cockpit. It works well on ballistic targets. I didn't see anything about Thor. Chimera projectiles have no wings. There are small control surfaces. Almost a dwarf Eskander .

[solar]

predictable flight path

and how predictable if the bomb is controlled?

[D16]

Although it is planning, it is still a bomb. Its aerodynamic quality is slightly better than a bomb without wings. Therefore, it can correct the flight path, removing the guidance error, but not dodge air defense systems.

[solar]

It is fundamentally different from the classic bomb. You probably have a very poor idea of ​​the capabilities of modern glide bombs.
Do you know how far planning bombs can fly from a drop point?
In this particular case, this GLSDB is said to be based on the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb.
That's what she looks like.

When dropped from a height of 10 km, the GBU-39 is capable of flying to a distance of 110 km at speeds up to 2M.
With this application, the range and speed will probably be smaller, but still very decent.
And it's very hard to knock her down.

In addition to accuracy, the main advantage of the GBU-39 is stealth: with a length of 1,8 m and a body diameter of 0,19 m, the bomb has an RCS of about 0,015 m2, which makes it difficult to repel a massive strike with such means using air defense systems [4].

[D16]

Mach two is the maximum drop speed from an aircraft. The bomb on it, if it flies, does not last long. We still need to find a plane that will drop it at such a speed. Further, it will fly along the most optimal trajectory, and each rudder deviation will eat up kilometers of range. Actually, the GBSBD flies one and a half times further just because the M26 throws it 20 kilometers into thinner air at a comparable speed at the time of separation. The MiG-25RB at one time notably threw cast iron from a cabriolet in similar conditions.

[solar]

this bomb definitely does not fly in a predictable ballistic trajectory

Although it is planning, it is still a bomb. Its aerodynamic quality is slightly better than a bomb without wings. Therefore, it can correct the flight path, removing the guidance error

compared to a free-falling bomb, heaven and earth.

[D16]

that bomb definitely does not fly in a predictable ballistic trajectory

Without an engine with a specific load of the order of half a ton per sq.m. it will not be possible to express. Any maneuver reduces speed and, accordingly, range. And this bomb was created in order not to enter the enemy's air defense zone, that is, to work from a maximum distance. It's not a free-falling bomb, but it's not a plane either.

[solar]

Any maneuver reduces speed and, accordingly, range.

far from always the blow is delivered to the maximum range of the ammunition.

that is, to work from a maximum distance

far from necessary.

It's not a free-falling bomb, but it's not a plane either.

of course not a plane, it's a bomb. But unlike a free-falling one, it has an unpredictable trajectory (and a target, by the way)

[Alex_mech]

And why should she dodge air defense systems? It's cheap and small. 20 pieces of inconspicuous targets will fly in, shoot them down.

[D16]

Chimeras shoot down, and there are completely different speeds.

[Alex_mech]

So where does the speed? Is speed the only characteristic? If there are 6-12-24 such bombs in one salvo and the radar detects them at a distance of a couple of kilometers, one can not even dream of any interception.

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Донный_газогенератор

[Negro]

What for?
The bottom gas generator is needed by the projectile. It has high speed and a flat bottom, which creates a low pressure area behind the projectile and greatly slows it down. The gas generator does not so much push the projectile forward with a jet stream as it saturates this bubble with gas.

The bomb goes slower and has more favorable aerodynamics.

[D16]

somehow I didn’t know about speed right away))

This bomb is accelerated by the standard M26 engine, and it throws the rocket 20 km at a speed of Mach 2-3. So it's not so clear . But unlike US, SBD is made according to the normal aerodynamic scheme. In its tail section there are control surfaces with steering machines. Therefore, there is most likely no place for the bottom GG. There, moreover, that in the aviation version she does not need it.

[D16]

I have not heard that they would try to cross an air bomb with an artillery shell.

[cold wind]

An interesting decision. They take a serial rocket booster, a serial glide bomb, receive ammunition for serial MLRS that qualitatively increases their capabilities.

And what are the reasons? For such hopes?

So many suppliers one products? What do you need to compare prices for months?
And what does impossible mean? Unable to speed up the production process and output? For a US company? Did the author confuse the States with Russia by chance?
And it was about the paused delivery of missiles with a range of about 300 km. But what document says about the ban on deliveries to weapons with a range of 150-160 km?

[Negro]

Quote from: skeptick2

The Pentagon needs to look at offers from other suppliers, compare prices, and so on.

It's already been done. Boeing offered this option for the current M142/270 range extension program, but the military ordered a new conventional design missile from LM for a carload of money. The budget will not take care of itself. Boeing / Saab offered this thing in different countries, but for one reason or another, no one took it. But for Ukraine it just looks attractive.

Secondly, for the mass production of these bombs it is necessary,

Mass is not required, they are already produced by the thousands.

Quote from: skeptick2

The US does not provide 300 km missiles, but supplies 150 km AGM-88s. So GLSDB just looks like a good compromise, since it does not cross new "red lines" in any way, but costs 20 times cheaper than AGM-88.

So GLSDB just looks like a good compromise, since it does not cross new "red lines" in any way, but costs 20 times cheaper than AGM-88.

GLSDB prices start at $40.
Depending on the guidance systems, the cost can skyrocket. I saw contracts where the cost of this bomb was more than 200 thousand dollars per unit.
In a particular case, the cost of the rocket and the adapter block should be added to the cost of the bomb.
It is unlikely that as a result it will be cheaper than the standard controlled Himars.

The standard design involves the use of not M30 / 31, but M26, which are for recycling. With the M30 / 31, the range should be even higher, but it seems that this has not yet been offered. The notional glide bomb adds 100 km of range to a standard missile.

200K cost bombs from pre-production batches. Now both SDB and SDB2 are below 100.

[Vojvoda]

If there is a nuclear bomb on Washington, and it is doubtful that it will ever fall there, then the destruction of Russia will follow. The non-use of nuclear bombs in Ukraine will also lead to the destruction of Russia. So a nuclear strike should be on Ukraine.

[Zaurbek]

It will be difficult to shoot them down, because. the bomb will not fall in a ballistic trajectory. IT was made specifically to break through our air defense ..... F15EX can carry 20 pieces of these

[landromat]

In the sense of an EPR for low-power air defense radars, 100 kg bombs can be difficult to detect, but if you find it is not difficult to shoot down, it is clearly not very fast due to the wings and the corresponding aerodynamics

[solar]

The speed can be up to 2M, depending on the speed of the carrier at the time of release, altitude and range to the target.

[aleks700]

Fine. We are Boeing metal, they are shells for Ukraine. Who squealed what kind of proceeds from metal and other raw materials supplied to NATO countries, we are doing our own. Some kind of .... So here we are, it turns out, we help to make shells with which they fire at the Russian army, territory.

[landromat]

more interestingly, they shoved a planning bomb of the fab-100 level into the Hymars caliber, which means you can answer with the fab-250 level into the tornado caliber)

[Timur_kz]

For aviation, they cannot make a planning bomb, but you are talking about a tornado ... They are trying to make a UAV projectile for a tornado. In short, the design idea works in the wrong direction.

Maybe this will finally be the signal to wipe the infrastructure to zero. You can use old non-nuclear poplars. The warhead there is significantly higher than the Iskander one.

[Oorfene Juice and his wooden soldiers]

The speed of 2 M, she will have only at the moment of separation from the aircraft. Provided that the aircraft has a speed of 2 M. Then the speed will drop rapidly.
At the final stretch, the speed is likely to be no higher than 100 km/h.

[solar]

Yes, in general, it will stop and hang in the air, a common thing when you fall from a great height.

Add the media speed at the time of reset. A further change in speed will depend on the distance to the target and the drop height.
