A final decision on sending the missile has yet to be made, but the administration is working out complex details, according to a Biden administration official.

The United States is considering sending Ukraine high-precision long-range cruise missiles JASSM at a distance of more than 370 km. Politico wrote this on Thursday, August 15.

This will allow Ukrainian F-16 pilots to launch missiles from a 450 kg BZD.

According to the publication, the Biden administration is “open” to sending long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine.

It is noted that this move will give Kyiv’s F-16s greater combat power as the country seeks to maintain further momentum in its war against the Russian Federation.

“The White House’s willingness to provide Ukraine with an air-to-surface missile comes at a time when Kyiv’s surprisingly successful offensive on Russian territory continues for the second week in a row,” the author noted. .

A final decision on sending the missile has yet to be made, but the administration is working out complex details, a Biden administration official said.


The JASSM, developed by Lockheed Martin and first used in the early 2000s, has seen limited combat use by the United States and only a few close allies.
Characteristics: Range – 370 km, accuracy – 2.4 meters, warhead – 450 kg.
