Sputnik - The US is preparing a new military package for Ukraine that may include the supply of longer-range missiles.
Part of the US$2 billion (R$10 billion) will be allocated to the purchase of small-diameter ground-dropped bombs (GLSDBs).
In addition, the new package may include equipment for Patriot air defense systems, precision-guided munitions, as well as Javelin portable anti-tank systems.

The GLSDB projectiles, which have a range of 150 kilometers, can be fired from multiple rocket launchers such as the Himars or the M270, which Kyiv already possesses.
Kyiv continues to request ATACMS missiles, which have a range of 300 kilometers. However, the Biden administration has so far delivered only missiles with a range of 70 to 80 kilometers.
