Russia got into a scandal with a "whipped" Glsdb projectile: what happened

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation insists that Ukrainian military already use jet shells GLSDB. However, the US does not confirm the truth of such a statement by Russia. The United States of America does not confirm the fact that the forces of Russia have shot down the GLSDB jet projectile, which allegedly arrived in Ukrainian military military.

This was announced by John Kirby National Security Council at the White House National Security Council during an online briefing on Tuesday, March 28. "I cannot confirm Russian reports that they have knocked down one of these shells. I saw a message in the press, but we cannot confirm them," Kirby said. The official also confirmed that in the recent past the United States promised to transfer the GLSDB shells of the Armed Forces.

However, their number, as well as the exact date of transmission, is known only in the Pentagon. On Tuesday, March 28, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the air defense systems of the Armed Forces allegedly intercepted eighteen jet shells of the Himars volley fire and one controlled HLSDB reactive shell. The news of the allegedly intercepted bomb of small diameter was rubbed by Roszmi. Yes, the media news.

ru even asked experts how GLSDB could affect the defense capability of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and whether Ukrainian military military bombs in the future to break the land corridor to the Crimea and start de -occupation in the future. However, today the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the General Staff of the Armed Forces did not formally confirms that Ukrainian military was in service for GLSDB shells.

In February, it was really about the transfer of this weapons to Ukraine. But this decision required a lot of time, as the Pentagon had to sign a contract for the production of these shells. GLSDB is a controlled small launch launch diameter bomb consisting of GBU-39 and M26 MLRS missile engine. M26 is a regular rocket for M270 and Himars. Therefore, you need to take standard missiles to create GLSDB. After release, the wings are straightened into the bombs, and it flies its target.

This imposes restrictions - GLSDB is flying slower and can only affect stationary goals. We will remind, on February 5 in the Pentagon confirmed the transfer to Ukraine long -range bombs Glsdb. US defense speaker Pet Ryder said that 150 km am ammunition will be provided to Kiev within the USAI program. In January, we also cited the words of the Italian military analyst and former Thomas Tainer's military, who talked in detail about the principles of the GlsDB managed bomb.
