In a meeting with military expert Alexey Leonkov, he said: “Izvestia”The “smart” ground-based bombs GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) simply float away, leaving no trace behind. He also pointed out that conventional missiles fired from multiple launch rocket systems can also be tracked with control traces.
According to the expert, this makes the GLSDB bomb a very difficult target.
As Leonkov noted, this weapon is still considered experimental by the Americans. During the entire duration of the special military operation (SVO), several GLSDB bombs were launched, but the Russian military worked on all of them.
“This multiple launch rocket system was supposed to demonstrate an industrial range of 130-160 km. It is also extremely accurate; flies to the exact coordinates of the targets and shoots them. Apparently, the Americans are planning to create the so-called “long arm”, the expert said.
