Russische Sender berichten, dass die ukrainischen Streitkräfte im Rahmen des ERAM-Programms damit begonnen haben, neue Marschflugkörper vom Typ AGM-188A Rusty Dagger des amerikanischen Unternehmens Zone 5 Technologies einzusetzen.
Die Rakete soll eine Reichweite von etwa 930 km und eine Gefechtskopf-/Nutzlastmasse von 225 kg haben.

Hopefully they bought a lot of them.
Nice
sanctions incoming.
Hope the numbers can scale up fast
The ERAM deal was first announced last year, but in the days of trumpolini and kegsbreath, it seemed performative
900+ km? So these are flying into Russia proper? I had forgotten the White House is okay with that. But I’ll take it 🎉
Well i have heard the term rusty dagger used to refer to a suprise finger up the butt.
May this one arrive as a suprise and unlubed.
Seeing is believing. Unfortunately, with Trump in charge a reversal/cancellation of the deal would not be surprising.
For all the families who’ve been affected by this war, for all the men and women who have lost their lives fighting russia, justice is coming for the aggressor and it will be delivered swiftly! SLAVA UKRAINI
I hope one of these hit Putin and his cronies.
„Putin gets killed by Rusty Dagger“ bomb would be the most hilarious way to go.
Why get the AF to do proper testing, send them to war and test the fuck out of them while blowing up ruskies..
225Kg warhead. Oof that’s a large fuck you to Russia.
For comparison you see those Ukrainian drones that can level entire buildings? Those are FP-1’s usually and they only have 120kg I believe
How would they know? Never trust Russian reports, even if they seem positive.
Big Badda Boom
Excellent!
577 miles.
If true this is huge. Its hard to tell obviously but we never know just how close russia is to certain catastrophic events like economic collapse or an uprising happening in some part of russia. Hopefully this hastens both.

Its really insane how Ukraine is able to conduct their war. Ukraine must have some insanely competent people that can just get stuff to work. Like there is so many moving parts 1. Getting this stuff to ukraine 2. Make it work with your systems (planes, operation coordination systems etc 3. Get the „boots on the ground “ trained to use it. Each one a large task that require wild logistics and normally months of prep and ukraine seems to be doing it multiple times per month.
Until there’s clearer evidence. I will assume the Russian channels are just making excuses not to say how pathetic their AD systems are against the slow and steady Ukrainian FP drones.
>Two separate designs by non-traditional defense companies CoAspire and Zone 5 Technologies will be manufactured. The USAF issued contracts for the ERAM in October 2024 and both designs made a first flight four months later. The program has a $225 million budget, and is managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Armament Directorate.[1]
225M sounds really cheap by US arms industry standards
The wiki article gives 450km as max range. 930km is nearly double the range.
i hope they hammer those rubicon drone unit bases
Wikipedia says „range of up to 280 miles (450 km)“.
The ERAM is described as a hybrid between a cruise missile and an advanced guided bomb, carrying a 500 pounds (230 kg) warhead to a range of up to 280 miles (450 km), at speeds of at least 430 mph (690 km/h).
‚Rusty Dagger‘
I’m just taking a moment here. Anyone else think this is a rename for „dildo of consequence“? Maybe I need to get my mind out of the gutter.
Seems they are a bit early, original plan was late 2026 i think.
Lets see what these can do.
Rust dagger is such a metal name
Wikipedia says the maximum range is 450 km.
Is lune included with these missiles? I hope not?
