This could change the game. The new weapon type, The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), is arriving in Ukraine.
Instead of spending $168,000 for 1 traditional GMLRS rocket for the HIMARS system, the new GLSDBs cost only $40,000 and has twice the range. Six GLSDB's can be fired from the HIMARS trucks, and the precise bombs will then glide 150 km carrying a 93 kg warhead.
If this quadruples Ukraine's capacity to take out deep targets, Putin has a big problem.
