The Ukrainian Armed Forces became the first in the world to test "smart" GLSDB projectiles for HIMARS

On the front line, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to use long-range GLSDB projectiles for HIMARS missile systems. The information became known after the release of a video shot by the opponents at their positions.

The footage shows a cardboard box containing ammunition fragments, one of which has a square shape and aerodynamic steering surfaces. Experts claim that this is part of the GBU-39/B bomb, which is part of the GLSDB high-precision munition. To launch the bomb with the help of the HIMARS installation, the M26 jet engine, designed for an unguided projectile, is used.

Considering that only the tail part remains from the GLSDB, it can be concluded that the first use of the new ammunition was successful. It should be noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were the first to test the GLSDB in the field. This ammunition is considered experimental and was developed by Boeing and Saab engineers, and its use in combat conditions has not been recorded before.

GLSDB can fly at a distance of up to 150 km. The M26 rocket engine is used to launch the GBU-39/B bomb to a considerable height. After separating from it, the aerial bomb begins to glide on the wings towards the target.
