The United States has completed successful tests of Boeing's Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), a new long-range precision weapon, which is expected to enhance Ukraine's military capabilities significantly. This development comes as NATO has increased its surveillance activities, with aircraft such as the Boeing E7A 'Wedgetail' monitoring Russian industries to support Ukraine's military efforts. The 'Wedgetail' is an Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft used by the U.S., UK, Turkish, and Australian Air Forces, each unit costing approximately $200 million USD. Ukraine is set to receive its first batch of these precision bombs as soon as Wednesday, according to sources including @laraseligman and @politico.
