The United States is considering sending Ukraine medium-range guided bombs for F-16s as part of a $375 million military aid package in the works, Politico reports.
The bombs, known as the Joint Standoff Weapon, are already in use by the U.S. Air Force, Navy and allies, and are capable of striking targets more than 130 kilometers away in ideal conditions, with the ability to use a 225 kg unitary or cluster warhead. This would give Ukraine an additional advantage in its ability to strike Russian forces.
The package, which is still being finalized, will also include artillery ammunition, rockets and air defense missiles, according to two U.S. officials and a person familiar with the matter. The people were granted anonymity to discuss the package ahead of the announcement and acknowledged that its contents could still change before the official announcement.
The $375 million would be the largest package the U.S. has sent to Ukraine since May and could be the president's final arms cuts before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. Under authority granted by Congress, the U.S. is removing existing weapons from its stockpile, with the money earmarked for replacement ammunition and equipment.
"The new missiles, while not having the range Kyiv has asked for, will still give Ukrainian pilots a powerful new weapon as their forces battle advancing Russian forces in the east of the country, where Ukrainian forces are slowly losing ground. With a range of more than 130 kilometers, the missiles will allow pilots to stay farther from the front lines and Russian air defenses, giving Kyiv a new way to attack those defenses and weapons depots on the front lines, complicating operations for Russian forces," the article says.
US defence giant Lockheed Martin has revealed details of its new AGM-158 JASSM cruise missile, which is expected to have a longer range than even the 900km JASSM-ER.
Lockheed Martin has demonstrated a project to create a new version of the AGM-158 JASSM cruise missile, which should have the greatest range while retaining the standard 450-kg warhead.
