  The US says additional military aid to Ukraine worth $2.2bn will include long-range missiles capable of doubling its attack range.
  Previously, Ukraine's longest range weapon was the Himars rocket system, which can hit targets at a range of up to 80km. Kyiv used the system to devastating effect during its counter-offensive in the south and east last year.
  The new package - which will also include additional Himars missiles and 250 Javelin anti-armour systems - comes amid mounting concerns that Western nations have been too slow to provide fresh military aid to Ukraine.

  Ukraine needs it. Let them put it to good use. >
  
  What's the yield of the GLSDB's in comparison to HIMARS? Could they be used to take out a bridge like the Kerch bridge if Ukraine got within range with enough hits? Or is it just used to target like artillery and stuff? >
  
  200 - HIMARS
  250 - GLSDB
