Can pierce armor up to 500mm thick. It's going to go in one side and out the other! (okay, not really - but it's amusing ;-).PG-7VL armed FPV drones vs 70 year old tanks with no ERA is going to be spectacular.
Are the republicans going crazy over this since no additional funds have been allocated for Ukraine ?
Well, the R congress critters with have to get out of the high-chairs/wheel-chairs to voice their complaints.Are the republicans going crazy over this since no additional funds have been allocated for Ukraine ?

The Ukrainians have promised something special for the upcoming Russian election. Wonder if the GLSDB will take a starring role.
To reach max range they need to be dropped from high altitude, right? That risks the planes. Or are these the SDB with the rocket motors?Well thats taken a lot longer than I would have preferred but this is a very important capability.
All occupied territories except the lower 2/3rds of Crimea in range.

Are they getting many GLSDB's? Like thousands or tens of thousands?Well thats taken a lot longer than I would have preferred but this is a very important capability.

I googled and GLSDB is considered 'low cost' at $40k a pop. Maybe its significantly cheaper in large numbers but I was hoping for something like $1k so Ukraine can really plaster the battlefield.A quantity was not specified but the headline number on the package it was included in was 2.2B. I'd be curious to know how many Boeing can make per month which I have not seen revealed. Also if it was integrated to the M270/M142 or if there is a bespoke launcher involved for now. So still some questions.
Thats fucking crazy. Still sucking that Putin dick. Must be embarrassing to watch your “strong man” guy subservient like a little bitch to master Putin.Treason is thick as blood in Republican's Dear Leader.
Trump Suggests, Yet Again, He Trusts Putin Over U.S. Intelligence 'Lowlifes'
Just in case you were wondering where the former president's loyalties lie.
Nah this is already paid for from USAI months ago. Ukraine will be receiving stuff we contracted for over at least the next couple years apart from defense department drawdowns.
I figure Biden gives the border deal another month and starts making his own moves to continue drawdowns for Ukraine.

1k is almost a freakin desktop motherboard ))I was hoping for something like $1k so Ukraine can really plaster the battlefield.
Perhaps 24 initially with more to follow. Apparently this isn't a high-volume item, maybe it will end up being.
I work in drug manufacturing and it costs $30k just for the water to wash ONE of our tanks. $40k is the hi-tech equivalent of wastewater 😂1k is almost a freakin desktop motherboard ))
A rocket is not a bullet, has advanced sensors, computers, explosives, propellant, engine, etc... I doublt something that can hit with precision at 160km with a significant bang can be made much cheaper than that (40k). Maybe with mass production they can slash that in half, but as it is, with just thousand products per month, that's too little
NATO does not appear to have much when it comes to full scale war planning and production. Which makes sense, we never expected to fight this war without going nuclear. Yet here we are.Perhaps 24 initially with more to follow. Apparently this isn't a high-volume item, maybe it will end up being.
While I absolutely agree with you that more aid to Ukraine should have been sent months ago the US clearly planned to fight this war without going nuclear. We could destroy Russia's army with one arm tied behind our back.NATO does not appear to have much when it comes to full scale war planning and production.

Ukraine needs more than is provided to survive, as ammo at the frontlines is running thin. If that happens, death will surely follow and spread towards the Polish border.
By reports from Ukraine, our betrayal of them is almost complete.
'We'll Fight Until We're Dead': With Dwindling Ammunition, Ukrainian Soldiers Defend Their Gains
With a $61 billion package of mostly military aid stymied in the U.S. Congress and questions looming over future EU aid, it's unclear when those resources might come -- if they ever do.
