US Sells 3,350 Mini Cruise Missiles to UkraineâSpeed, Range & Drama!
Brace yourselves: the US just proposed selling 3,350 ERAMsâExtended-Range Attack Munitionsâto Ukraine for $850 million, mostly funded by Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and a dash of US Foreign Military Financing. These arenât your grandmaâs cruise missilesâthey pack 500-pound warheads, fly 287 miles at 460 mph, and come with super fancy anti-jamming gizmos by Zone 5 Technologies and CoAspire. Fun twist: JFK-level congressional approval is needed (but Congress is basically hands-off). Delayed until Trump chatted separately with Putin and Zelenskyy this August, so these missiles carry extra political seasoning. Designed during Biden's watch, these cheeky missiles boost Ukraineâs arsenal to strike deepâthough Uncle Sam controls the GPS, so strikes on Russia need US thumbs-up. Talk about friendship with benefitsâmilitary style!
