🇺🇸🇺🇦🚀 The US State Department has approved the sale of ERAM air-launched missiles and equipment to Ukraine for $825 million, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) reported. The deal includes 3,350 extended-range missiles (240–450 km), the same number of GPS/INS systems with SAASM modules…
Will Ukraine be able to use them as THEY want OR will are strings attached?
Sad that the US State Dept has become a mere sales office of large US defence companies. Intelligent diplomatic discussions no more. 20% sales commissions for best performers!
This is an extremely capable and brand new missile if it’s definitely the Gunslinger en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-174...
That’s not what is going to be delivered. Secondly targets on Russian soil still appear to be off limits. It looks like for each strike Pentagon clearance is required.
It would definitely be capable of taking down long range bombers in Russia
But this is probably not what Ukraine is getting?
Will Trump allow them to be used though? Or are they just allowed to buy them?
Good article on this here. I see this as the US putting pressure on Russia to come back to the negotiating table with a better attitude. Meet ERAM: The New U.S. 'Game-Changer' Weapon Headed to Ukraine - National Security Journal share.google/qh5Pystn9TAQ...
yes but is there a kill switch? or will alchy hegseth stop shipment as soon as the funds clear?
Is it really what Ukraine needs most right now? I would expect that the longer range missiles are more needed.
The package includes containers, pylons, spare parts, mission planning software, classified and unclassified publications, training, transportation, engineering services, and logistics support.
Can ukraine use them where they are needed - or are they restricted?
Just to be clear, this is NOT a gift. Europe is going to pay for it. American government is a grifter now.
It didn’t say gift anywhere. Europe is weak AF and THAT is the problem
Missiles still need to be produced, as it is brand new.
