The United States has asked Lebanon to return a GBU-39 small-diameter bomb launched by the Israel Air Force toward Beirut during the operation that killed Hezbollah military commander Ali Tabatabai earlier this week, after it failed to detonate, according to Lebanese media.
According to Lebanese reports, US officials fear that the bomb could fall into Russian or Chinese hands.
The Lebanese government has not yet issued an official response.
What is the glide bomb?
The GBU-39 is a glide bomb manufactured by Boeing. Once launched, it deploys wings and can glide up to 110 km, despite lacking its own engine, allowing the aircraft to remain out of range while deploying the bomb.
Due to the absence of an engine, it is also relatively inexpensive, costing only about $50,000.
Glide bombs are no longer rare, but what distinguishes this one is its particularly efficient warhead, which allows it to cause significant damage relative to its weight, including the ability to penetrate concrete structures.
Weighing about 110 kg and compact, four of these can be carried instead of a one-ton Mark 84 bomb, allowing a single fighter jet to strike dozens of targets in a single sortie.
The GBU-39 also features GPS and inertial guidance systems designed to provide accuracy of up to 1 meter on impact, reducing the need for additional bomb launches, lowering risk to other aircraft, and cutting environmental damage and financial costs.
The small-diameter bomb (SDB) was first used in 2006 and was developed to maximize use of the F-35’s internal weapons bays, which can carry eight bombs while remaining very difficult to detect.
US particular about who purchases glide bombs
To date, Boeing has produced about 20,000 of these kits, which the US has sold only to countries such as Italy, the Netherlands, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, and in a special ground-launched version, also to Ukraine.
The IAF refers to the bomb as “Sharp Hail,” and it is used by all Israeli fighter aircraft.
here is hoping it gets to russia
israel has attacked all its neighbours but turkey is braced and ready
israel needs a damn good bombing
dirty jews
“The United States has asked Lebanon to return a GBU-39 small-diameter bomb launched by the Israel Air Force toward Beirut…”

Meanwhile in other news: While I don’t agree that National Socialism was got at by the SATT ( scum at the top ) , I offer this otherwise excellent comment from
“Simon Smith on November 29, 2025 at 8:41 am
The best way to beat the opposition is to lead the opposition. I know nothing of the specifics of AfD but I guarantee their leaders are bought. I believe National Socialism was also hijacked by globalists….”

If the Lebanese govt. gives this Jew dropped bomb back to the US then everyone in that shit cowardly govt. should be ripped to pieces,,,
Return it to Tel Aviv in “detonated” form.
US diplomacy – “Gee, we just dropped a megaton bomb in the heart of your biggest city and it did not go off as expected. Do you think you can let us have it back so we can fix it and try it again? But don’t give it to the Russians or the Chinese or we will drop 10 more of them on you. We are your friends.”
“please give us back the bomb we manufactured and gave to Izreel to kill you, so next time it does the job!”
Seriously?
Right at the end of this video you can see a copper lower his face into his collar to hide himself from the camera after seeing four colleagues carry a Father Christmas off to a police van for protesting against the proscription of Palestine Action. These “anti-terrorism” demos must be making a lot of them question where they are being forced to take Britain. This is the exact opposite of To Protect and Serve.
