Remember folks, ACCURACY trumps all. I dont need a 2000lb rocket if my 250lb bomb can hit the target every time, or even most of the time. GLSDB takes the guesswork and luck out of long range artillery, you're trading a couple big things for thousands of accurate ones.

Well, about 94 miles is accurately specified as 150 km, which is the maximum range. Developments started almost ten years ago. Many tests along the development took place, notably in northern Sweden. Also, SAAB has brought in a few Norwegian companies to support the development and production. The maximum range is the maximum. Around 100 km is more realistic given the target, which may need to go around, a complex flight path, or a moving target to follow. But of course, under good conditions, the GLSBD will reach 150 km within 1 meter, which is truly excellent. More specific information can be found on the SAAB web page and Wikipedia, which refer to SAAB in many places. As a note, SAAB and Boeing have many ongoing successful cooperations, notably also the new Jet trainer T-7A.

They can be used in the thousands. The video glossed over that point. They are built from bombs and older rocket motors which already are stockpiled in the thousands. 25 of these can be converted for the cost of one new HIMARS rocket.

Not really. You can have 2 himars, one with atacms, and the rest wth M26 motors. Or you can have one M270 with one atacms and six. Ukrainian rockets strikes always involve more than one platform, so you're wrong.

We are over confident and STUPID! It is not problem that our people are stupid but problem is that our military planers and generals are also stupid.

Wouldn't seem too big to create an air dropped version, which would increase its range substantially.

So let's stop the delays and get them shipped...

The Russians are not going to like the ability of this weapon system, launched from HIMARS, 90 mile range, can strike from any angle within a few meters, trenches and bunkers are easy targets as well as moving convoys

no one will spend it on trenches, but rather on attacks on cities for the purpose of “intimidation”

Good knowledge, thank you Wall Street Journal. Stopgap measures are essential at this moment, the GLSDBs couldn't have come at a more pressing time. 🗽🇺🇦🇺🇸✳️

It means nothing. Ukraine is losing ground to Russia at Avdiivka and Robotyne, and while equipment is important, Ukraine lacks what is most important on the battlefield and that is soldiers.

Great overview

Hope to see some great news using the GLSDB soon...

Like Borat would say, it's nice, how much? Because 1 HIMARS missile is like about 120 shells (155mm). Even if it's half as cheap as a missile, I might still want the shells - quantity has a value of its own.

I love these short videos you guys do on defense industry and its revolutionary weapons, great stuff!

The sales pitch based on "plentiful" M26 rockets may run into some inherent shortcomings. When production of the M26 series ceased in 2001, a total of 506,718 rockets had been produced. The shelf life is only 25 years for each rocket. So even the latest batch produced in 2001 would require to be destroyed in 2026. That's only 2 years away.The US started destroying its M26 stocks in 2007, when the US Army requested $109 million for the destruction of 98,904 M26 MLRS rockets from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2012. M26 rockets were removed from the US Army's active inventory in June 2009 and the remaining rockets were being destroyed as of 2009, but the US requirement to destroy them was removed in 2017.The UK and the Netherlands destroyed their stock of 60,000 M26 rockets by 2013, Italy destroyed its 3,894 rockets by 31 October 2015, Germany its 26,000 by 25 November 2015, and France its 22,000 by 2017. If Ukraine needs to use GLSDBs, they better utilize those M26s quick.

Hence the delay in fielding. The testing and x-raying of M26 motors includes many past their "use by" date. The motors do not instantly expire at 25 years. In fact, they required testing intervals between every 3-7 years while they were in inventory. Depending upon climate, # of deployments, etc.

Then it is good time to get these weapons into the field and used by 2026. Also, every military device has a lifespan, and these are often extended by additional inspect and/or maintenance.

THE PERFECT SALES MAN 😃

The US military had 360,000 M26 rocket motors stockpiled as of 2006, so the bottleneck is gonna be 1. The GOP 2. The SDB
