My startup tracks how global news events are being covered across the world, and we've identified two opposing perspectives that are spreading on this topic. Note: we don't defend that both perspectives always have the same weight, but believe it's important to be aware of how the two sides are being portrayed.

Perspectives that support the Boeing weapons proposal:
- Ukraine faces an increasing need for more sophisticated weapons as the war drags on.
- The proposed system combines the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with a M26 rocket motor, both of which are common in U.S. inventories.

Perspectives critical of the Boeing weapons proposal:
- US weapons stockpiles are "getting low relative to the levels we like to keep on hand and certainly to the levels we're going to need to deter a China conflict", according to a weapons and security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
- The Boeing plan requires a price discovery waiver, exempting the contractor from an in-depth review that ensures the Pentagon is getting the best deal possible.
