American sources of information publish statements by senior Pentagon military officials saying that the GLSDB missiles (rocket-engine bombs) transferred to Ukraine are not compatible with the Hymars universal launchers previously transferred to Kyiv.
Recall that Washington approved the transfer of these missiles with a range of up to 150 km as part of the next package of military assistance to the Kyiv regime. And initially it was reported that MLRS HIMARS are suitable for GLSDB. However, it has now been stated that for the GLSDB ammunition, which may be in Ukraine as early as the coming spring, there are no suitable launchers at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In such a situation, according to Western media, the United States is considering the option of supplying Ukraine with new missile launchers, the functionality of which allows the GLSDB to be used to hit targets at the above distance. About what installations we are talking about, at the moment it is not reported.
At the same time, military experts in the United States recalled that in no single use of the GLSDB (both test and in the format of military exercises) did this rocket-powered bomb show a range of 150 km. The maximum documented range of hitting a target on land (according to open American sources) was 119 km. In the naval version, the target was hit at a distance of 130 km.
