The United States announced for the first time: it supports Ukraine's attack on Crimea Crimea
Russian Satellite Network reported that U.S. Pentagon deputy spokesperson Sabrina Singer said that the United States is helping Ukraine fight, and the United States will continue to support Ukraine. Support as long as it takes. also includes support for Ukraine's operations in Crimea. The United States does not support Ukraine's attack on Russia, but it does not recognize Crimea as Russian territory.
The US " New York Times " quoted sources as reporting that the Biden administration has admitted that Ukraine may need additional forces to attack Crimea. Even if this move will increase the risk of escalation.
There are reports that the United States has determined that Russia will not launch tactical nuclear missiles. Therefore, the United States will take the "boldest step" to help Ukraine attack the Crimean Peninsula. This actually means that the United States and the West have completely turned against Russia.
Negotiations are almost impossible, and the Russia-Ukraine war will ultimately determine the outcome. American expert Hal Brandes said: Assisting Ukraine to fight Russia is a "very good deal" for the United States. With Ukraine tied up, Russia has no time to launch a war elsewhere, and may even "lose to the point where it will be unable to get up for a while."

The United States will not give missiles, but it will give key bombs
The United States’ goal is very clear. It wants to consume Russian troops on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. It can blow up Crimea, but it cannot attack Russia itself. It must be able to weaken Russia, but not anger Putin .
Therefore, the United States refused to assist the Army's tactical missiles with a range of 300 kilometers, and basically approved the GLSDB precision guided bombs with a range of 100-150 kilometers. The Ukrainian army has a long-range precision strike munition that Haimas can launch with twice the range and twice the power.
The U.S. Boeing Company stated that it can begin delivering GLSDB precision-guided bombs in the spring of 2023. This ammunition mainly installs the rocket engine of the Haimas ammunition on the U.S. Air Force's small-diameter SDB precision-guided bomb. In this way, can use Seamus rocket launcher to launch Air Force precision guided bombs.
And the price is cheaper, only 40,000 US dollars per shot, the price is less than half of the Haimas precision guided munition. And the U.S. Air Force has a large inventory of SDB bombs.
The current maximum strike range of the Ukrainian army is that the Hiamas can attack targets within 70 kilometers. However, once the Ukrainian army is equipped with GLSDB precision guided bombs, the Ukrainian army's Seamass can attack targets within 150 kilometers.

GLSDB precision guided bomb can change the Russia-Ukraine war?
GLSDB precision guided bomb has a maximum range of 150 kilometers. Within a distance of 150 kilometers, the total weight is 227 kilograms. The warhead weight of the bomb is 90-100 kilograms, and it can shoot with an accuracy of 5 meters. has 360-degree fire coverage, and can also hit reverse slope targets. It has the ability to hit multiple targets and hit multiple targets at the same time.
With the GLSDB precision-guided bombs launched by rocket launchers, in fact, the Ukrainian army has obtained a front-line aviation force that can sustain high-precision strikes. GLSDB precision-guided bombs launched by rocket launchers will greatly reduce the Ukrainian army's lack of air strike power.
The entire northern Crimea and the Russian-controlled Lugansk and Donetsk are within the attack range. Hundreds of thousands of Russian armed forces have gathered on the front line.
Within 150 kilometers behind the front, there are a large number of ammunition depots , bridges, railway lines, train stations, military depots, campsites, training grounds, helicopter bases, artillery positions and other targets.These targets were completely safe in the past. The Ukrainian army could only attack targets within a range of 70 kilometers at most, but now it can attack targets within a range of 150 kilometers.
All important targets of the Russian army in the rear must be redeployed, and Crimea will become a key target. The Ukrainian army wants to weaken the Russian army's continuous combat capability on the southern line by destroying the Russian army base, supply base, barracks and train station in northern Crimea.
Boeing Company hopes GLSDB precision-guided bombs will become famous in Ukraine and trigger a purchasing boom in Central and Eastern European countries and countries in the Middle East.

The Russian army will not give Ukraine another chance
The advantages of GLSDB precision-guided bombs are long range, high accuracy, and the ability to change the direction of attack. But the disadvantage is that it is slow. The Russian army will deploy a large number of armor S1 and Tor air defense missile systems near important targets to intercept GLSDB precision guided bombs.
At the same time, the Russian army already has experience in confronting Haimas with a range of 70 kilometers, and will further decentralize and hide all important Russian logistics supply targets in the rear of the entire battlefield.
In the spring, the Russian army is very likely to launch a decisive offensive campaign involving .7 million Russian troops. In the summer, before the Ukrainian army can equip GLSDB precision-guided bombs in batches, it must severely damage the main force of the Ukrainian army and achieve a decisive victory.
