The United States is considering supplying Ukraine with the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Missile (JASSM), a move that could boost the long-range strike capabilities of the country’s recently acquired F-16 fighter jets.
The development was highlighted in recent news reports, which indicated that discussions are underway within the Biden administration and the Pentagon about the feasibility of such a transfer.
The reports indicated that US President Joe Biden has indicated a willingness to consider providing JASSM missiles to Ukraine, but a final decision has not been reached.
