Information has emerged about the United States’ intention to transfer “smart” long-range bombs to Ukraine – modified Jdam-ER.
In particular, Bloomberg reports this, noting that these projectiles are equipped with GPS.
At the same time, the publication draws attention to the fact that the Pentagon does not officially admit that it is going to transfer such bombs to Kyiv.
Representatives of the US Department of Defense noted only that they would supply “high-precision aircraft munitions” as part of a $1.85 billion military aid package.
But two people familiar with this issue confirmed the presence of such weapons, according to an article by MIA Rossiya Segodnya.
The material states that Jdam-ER can be mounted on unguided projectiles weighing from 500 to 2,000 pounds.
It is also reported that after being dropped, “the bomb opens its wings,” due to which it glides at a distance of up to 72 km and “triples the flight range of the original ammunition.”
