The specifics remain unknown. Some sources mention „offensive missiles,“ others claim these weapons will have the range to strike targets as far as Moscow. Still others explicitly state that they will be JASSM cruise missiles. All of these reports point to one clear requirement: the missiles must have a range of at least 500 km to reach Moscow from the Ukrainian border.

The AGM-158 JASSM has been under consideration for Ukraine since a time when Kyiv did not even possess F-16s. This potential transfer is closely tied to the F-16 itself, as this multirole fighter is one of the JASSM’s standard launch platforms. However, it is possible that Ukraine’s aircraft would require software upgrades to fully employ these missiles.
