Farbid weapons of Americans: that will fly to Moscow except the winged AGM-158 Jassm

To spread: the United States can transfer to Ukraine upset weapons up to 500 km or more. Analysts believe that the possible options are the winged AGM-158 Jassm missiles, including the Jassm-ER version, as well as the improved AGM-154 JSow planning bombs in the ER version. The US Presidential Administration considers the possibility of transferring the F-16 F-16 F-16 fighter landsckets to Ukraine, which makes it possible to strike Moscow. The Defense Express observers write about it.

The base version of AGM-158A has a range of up to 370 km and the fighting part of WDU-42/b weighing 450 kg. Visually and in design, the rocket resembles Storm Shadow, already known by the Armed Forces-it uses stealth technology, thermal imaging head of self-introduction and the algorithm of goal recognition. Since 2014, the US version has been in service with increased range-up to 900 km for the same combat capabilities.

However, the transfer of such missiles may be limited by their current production. Therefore, according to experts, it is more likely to supply the basic version of AGM-158A, which is in large quantities in the pentagon warehouses. These missiles are compatible with the F-16, which is important in the context of the receipt of these fighters to Ukraine.

The main tactical and technical characteristics of AGM-158B Jassm-ER at the same time in the arsenal of Americans for deep blows are other types of long-range weapons. It is about AGM-154 JSOW-a high-precision planning bomb from Raytheon. Despite a limited range, up to 130 km when dropped from a height, in 2024 the possibility of refining a bomb to the JSow-ER version with a turbojer engine was discussed. Such a modification could reach a range up to 550 km.

Although this version did not go into the series, significant reserves of JSow bombs make this solution by a potential alternative to Jassm. Less chances are the transmission of a promising launch of the land base of PRSM (Precision Strike Missile) with a range of more than 500 km and a fighting part of 91 kg. It runs from the Himars starting, but has only recently been launched into mass production.

Finally, Tomahawk missiles with a range of 1600 km, which were discussed in October 2024 in the context of the Victory Plan, remain an almost unlikely option. However, since the fall of last year, no one has mentioned this weapon. Recall that The Washington Post published the material of David Ignatus, which refers to providing Ukraine with a long -range offensive.
