To me the promise that the GLSDB can be rapidly produced in large numbers is more exciting than the ability to turn around and strike targets from behind. But that is a nice bonus to be sure.

Exactly why the Americans would send another HIMARS when Ukraine already has 38 HIMARS plus 23 similar M270 tracked launchers—and hasn’t lost any of them—is hard to say for sure.

38 HIMARS are like 5 artillery batteries, except you cannot hit them back. Russia loses that much artillery each 3 days and keeps fighting.
