Trump promises to provide Ukraine with JASSM cruise missiles

According to hvylya.net: US President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of supplying JASSM cruise missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Military Watch Magazine, these missiles are planned to be installed on the Ukrainian Air Force's F-16 fighters.

Information about these intentions became known after Trump also announced plans to transfer a Patriot air defense system to the Ukrainian army. The plan includes not only the supply of JASSM missiles but also other modern weaponry.

“JASSM has been in military service since 2003, combining unique radar-evading capabilities with high precision targeting and significant warhead size.”

Currently, these missiles are used by only four countries due to supply restrictions. Ukraine already possesses some Cold War-era fighters adapted to launch European cruise missiles, and JASSM could significantly enhance their combat effectiveness.

The future supply of JASSM cruise missiles from the USA could make the Ukrainian army even more powerful in response to threats from hostile states. The new weaponry will ensure greater security and defense capabilities for Ukraine, strengthening its position on the international stage.
