Range 300-500 km: what long-range missiles to F-16 could be said

Under the voice characteristics are covered by winged Jassm tactical missiles, which have been manufactured since 2003. Ukraine expects to supply F-16 fighters together with 300-500 km. Defense Express analyzed which ammunition could be discussed. Lieutenant General Sergey Naev, Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces, announced that subsequent military assistance packages are expected to receive F-16 fighters together with rockets 300-500 km.

"In subsequent military assistance packages, Ukraine is waiting for F-16 aircraft and missiles with a distance of 300-500 kilometers, which will allow Ukraine's defense forces to achieve even greater success on the battlefield and free our territory from the enemy," the original post said. The publication draws attention that such a wording does not mean that it is about missiles to the F-16.

The wording can mean separately planes, and separately long -range missiles by ATACMS or Storm Shadow/Scalp. However, considering the option that is about missiles to the F-16, the characteristics of the tactical winged missiles AGM-158 JASSM are subject to the characteristics. By its concept, it is similar to the existing Storm Shadow ammunition and stealth technology. The AGM-158 Jassm rocket is in serial production and is exported.

There are several versions of different lesions at once: the most realistic for Ukraine is Jassm or Jassm-Er. The F-16 is the carrier of both rockets that cannot be called extremely scarce. Also manufactured by Lockheed Martin planned to produce 1000 Jasmm rockets and anti -ship LRASM a year. We will remind, the speaker of the Air Force Yuri Ignat stated that Ukraine should prepare the infrastructure for the acceptance and service of F-16 fighters.
