Officials from the Department of Defense expressed concern over a plan to send munitions with a range of 100 miles to Ukraine, according to Foreign Affairs. The Pentagon officials are concerned the weapons will be unneeded by the time they reach the battlefield.
Boeing proposed developing a ground-launched small-diameter bomb (GLSDB) for Kiev. The arms manufacturer believed it could easily put the 250-pound munitions on rockets that could carry the bombs 100 miles.
