That Reuters article is just another regurgitation of speculation that USA might send GLSDB.This Afternoon, the U.S. announced that Ukraine will receive the Ground-launched Small-diameter Bomb (GLSDB):

"The new weapon, the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), will allow Ukraine's military to hit targets at twice the distance reachable by the rockets it now fires from the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). If included as expected in an upcoming weapons-aid package first reported by Reuters, the 151 km (94 mile) GLSDB will put all of Russia's supply lines in the east of the country within reach, as well as part of Russian-occupied Crimea."
Has there actually been any subsequent confirmation (I haven't seen any) or are we still in the speculation loop ?
(When they might actually be through testing/manufacturing and deliverable is another thing, though I am sure the project team will be doing their best)
