Ukraine this week is receiving new glide bombs from Boeing (manufactured in France) that will allow Ukraine troops to strike targets twice as far as present missiles.
Ukraine has stated that it will continue to strike Russian energy installations including refineries, storage and production facilities as well as shipping.

Whoever you're getting your info from doesn't understand the difference between "missiles" and "bombs". That should concern you.
Your inability to read and understand should concern you.
You could benefit from the use of reference material. It would help you be less gullible. And less of a slack-jawed moron.
Bomb, a container carrying an explosive charge that is fused to detonate under certain conditions (as upon impact) and that is either dropped (as from an airplane) or set into position at a given point. In military science, the term aerial bomb or bomb denotes a container dropped from an aircraft and designed to cause destruction by the detonation of a high-explosive bursting charge or incendiary or other material. Bombs differ from artillery shells, missiles, and torpedoes in that the latter are all propelled through the air or water by a human-made agency, while bombs travel to their targets through the force of gravity alone. A major distinction must also be made between conventional bombs and atomic and thermonuclear bombs, which have a far greater destructive capacity.

The munition in question is the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB).
It has a booter stage to ground launch the 250 Lbs Small Diameter Bomb from the HIMARS and M270 systems. The SMB is a small sized JDAM developed to fit more bombs on airframes and in internal bomb bays of the F-35 and F-22.
Lots of reach and lots of boom with pin point precision for the Ground Launch version.
It's a bomb with a missle booster for ground launch to get it to altitude/distance and can glide for more reach. Relativley cheap for the boom and reach.
If they are delivered in numbers lots of Orcs are going to die from GLSDBs.
Pretty interesting. Instead of dropping from an aircraft and risking what could be an expensive jet and trained pilot, get the the glide bomb to height and close to the target as the payload of a missile were it separates and the glide bomb does its thing.
We humans are so creative in thinking up ways to kill each other.
