Bloomberg: Deliveries of US GLSDB precision bombs to APU will take about 9 months

The deliveries of long-range precision bombs GLSDB announced by the US government to the Ukrainian army are possible no earlier than in nine months.

According to the US news agency Bloomberg, in order to supply Ukraine with certain types of weapons, the US authorities need to conclude contracts for their production, after which the manufacturing company will need some time to fulfill the order. This is expected to take about nine months, as stated above.

It is also reported that the next package of American military assistance to the forces of the Kyiv regime may include Claymore anti-personnel mines allocated from the Pentagon, GPS-guided Excalibur precision guided missiles, as well as support equipment for Patriot air defense systems and Mk 153 rocket-propelled grenade launchers. These types of weapons may be transferred soon.

The GLSDB long-range precision bombs are a joint development between Boeing and Saab and are rocket-powered aerial bombs. Ammunition of this type is adapted to be launched using HIMARS MLRS systems. According to the manufacturers, the range of such precision-guided munitions is up to 150 kilometers, which significantly exceeds the range of munitions currently at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a range of up to 80 kilometers. For obvious reasons, this will take the conflict in Ukraine to a new level of escalation.

According to a number of Western media reports, the United States intends to provide Ukraine with a new $2,2 billion military aid package in the near future.

Solid fuel booster for firing Hymers.
Next is a planning accurate bomb

[credo]

While the Yankees, through their improvised agencies, are loudly selling bullshit to the whole world about the complexity of production and the long delivery time of one or another type of weapon to Ukraine, the US Army is quietly importing all these weapons to Ukraine right now.

GLSDB bombs are subsonic, supersonic but not more than 2500 km / h
ZRPK Pantsir and SAM Tor-M2 shoot down targets at a speed of more than 1,2 km / s (4320 km / h)

Our chief diplomat has already said twice about this, so we will push it further ..., hello to the director of the CIA with his 20%.

This means that territory 404 should not exist before November!

[incognoto]

that’s what the calculation is for, if the dates are really true, then the situation is similar with tanks ..

The Americans are stirring up something, oh, and stirring up, they announced about the Abrams, and then they say we can only by the end of 23, they boasted about rocket bombs and again only after 9 months, oh, not without reason.

What are the Americans up to?

What is there to stir up something? There is no serial production. Only prototypes were made for testing, according to the results of which it was decided that the thing was good, but not needed. Therefore, production still needs to be organized, and this will require money and time.

GLSDB tests were completed in 2019, since 2020 it has been mass-produced and is in service with the US Army. So far, it has never been transmitted to other countries. In order to transfer it to Ukraine, you do not need to wait until it is produced, it is enough to pick it up from the warehouses.

That is, nothing is mass-produced. There is evidence of serial production, provide links.

Everything is clear about the Abrams there - they don’t want to give them away in the “US Army” configuration, and now there are no ready-made tanks of the “export for the natives” configuration.

Today, one comrade at VO corrected me in a previous article with information about this super waffle. I just assumed that this fruit is launched by himarsa, which sooner or later fall under distribution on the LBS, a knowledgeable comrade corrected me that this bomb can be launched through any drainpipe. I, as not a big specialist, did not argue, for me it’s possible to shoot with gas cylinders through a drainpipe. So I turned out to be right, for this bomb you need a chimara or another beast of the same system.

Normally, it is launched from the Himars launcher, everything is correct. But its peculiarity is that the accuracy of the hit does not depend on the accuracy at launch, so it can really be launched if necessary and simply from any pipe of a suitable diameter, this will not affect the accuracy of the hit.

[rotmistr60]

not earlier than nine months later.

During this period, a woman manages to conceive and give birth to a child. The Americans may have already calculated what will happen to Ukraine after a certain period of time, and therefore they are in no hurry. Although guided missiles and mines are ready to deliver quickly.

[spirit]

Oh, I don’t believe it! Americans used to build entire fleets with aircraft carriers in 9 months, it’s a matter of desire and grandmas. Or they have their own plan.
