US considers supplying Ukraine, Eastern European allies with nearly 100-mile strike weapons

The U.S. is reportedly weighing a proposal from Boeing to supply Ukraine and Eastern European allies with munitions that will allow troops to strike Russian targets within nearly 100 miles. 

Boeing’s proposed system – dubbed Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) – has a range of roughly 94 miles and would allow Ukraine to strike further behind Russian lines

Although Washington has denied Kyiv’s request for the 185-mile range ATACMS missile, the GLSDB bombs could be delivered by the spring, according to documents reviewed by Reuters

The bombs have been in development since 2019, long before the February 2022 invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine. 

FLOW OF MILITARY AID TO UKRAINE CAUSES $4B BACKLOG IN TAIWAN AID: REPORT

According to SAAB, which is making the GLSDB bombs jointly with Boeing, the weapons can defeat some electronic jamming, are usable in all weather conditions, and can be used against armored vehicles. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to Boeing for comment. 

The United States has sent billions of dollars worth of military aid to Ukraine to help troops fend off Russia’s invasion. Since February, the U.S. has sent nearly $20 billion in military aid to Ukraine – so much that the Biden administration is struggling to keep track of how the aid is being used. 

The volume of U.S. aid to the country has given rise to some skeptics within the Republican Party, who are calling for greater accountability. 

Jaguars' Andrew Wingard doesn't hold back praise after win over Ravens: 'I would die for Doug Pederson'

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday seemingly marked a turning point for second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence and safety Andrew Wingard took the opportunity to reflect on the team’s growth under Doug Pederson following a rough year headlined by former head coach Urban Meyer. 

"I'm just so happy for Trevor because he had to deal with Urban Meyer last year as a rookie, and I don’t even know if he had a rookie year. And to see the growth he’s made, not just on the field, but just like his preparation, his demeanor, all that," Wingard said in the locker room, via Action Sports Jax.

"I’m so happy for him."

Lawrence went 29 of 37 for 321 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions but his biggest flex of the day came in the final seconds of the game with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones Jr. 

Pederson decided to go for the two-point conversion and Lawrence found Zay Jones in the endzone to give Jacksonville the lead with 14 seconds left.

"The stones on that guy… I would die for Doug Pederson, I swear. I would run into battle with Doug Pederson, 100%. I love the guy," Wingard said.

"He hasn’t changed his attitude whatsoever. We come into work, we keep working, we just keep chipping away, and eventually it’s going to pay off and it did today. The feeling in the locker room was awesome. I love this team."

Lawrence has shown real consistency over the last few weeks, completing 76.9% of his passes for 815 yards, with six touchdowns and no interceptions over the Jaguars last three games (2-1). 

"This guy throws an incredibly good football and he’s smart and he sees the field, and he can make all the throws," Pederson said Sunday. "You’re just seeing that. You’re just seeing that execution with him and that maturity with him. … So it’s a step in the right direction for Trevor. Excited for his growth obviously."
