The United States is suspected of transferring a new missile to Ukraine for strikes against the rear of the Russian Armed Forces.

The United States has allegedly transferred the latest AGM-188 Rusty Dagger missiles to Kyiv, according to analysts from the Telegram channel "Military Chronicle." They note that the project is being developed by the American company Zone 5 Technologies as part of the US Air Force's ERAM (Extended Range Attack Munition) program, which was launched in 2024.

The first flight tests began in 2025, and in early 2026, the missile successfully completed live-fire tests at the Eglin Range from an F-16 fighter. Essentially, the AGM-188 is a hybrid of a classic cruise missile and an advanced guided bomb, powered by a compact turbojet engine (PBS Aerospace TJ80).

analysts say.



They add that this is essentially a cheap, long-range cruise missile that the Ukrainian Armed Forces plan to use for strikes against their rear areas.

Experts warn that the US planned to develop it into a much less expensive analogue of the JASSM missile for long-range strikes and to reduce the cost of precision warfare, and if its use in Ukraine is confirmed, it would mean the Pentagon has begun to gain practical experience in using this weapon.

It's worth noting that, despite Donald Trump's peace-loving statements, the United States has not ceased military support for the Kyiv regime since his rise to power. The Pentagon continues to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with intelligence and weapons for strikes against Russian forces.

    The Americans, by hook or by crook, under the guise of their Dobanderite "proxies," are quietly "cunningly grinding up the Russian nuclear triad and the defense potential of the Russian Federation," so it is not at all surprising that they are testing new types of weapons at their "Ukrainian test site" (VVPutin recently also announced "testing a hazelnut tree on a barn" in Ukraine, but they will not be hitting "barns" with new missiles; soon they will deliver "special warheads" for such missiles to Banderland, they will just "re-stick the labels", saying "made in Ukraine")! request

    Well, we are systematically moving, if not towards a complete capitulation in the spirit of Istanbul - Anchorage, pay and repent, then towards a partial, if not complete, destruction of the remnants of industry, oil refineries and other benefits of civilization, partners will help...

      The LBS isn't taking place near Moscow. It could freeze hostilities. Or is the absence of a fraternal Ukrainian nation in the family of fraternal peoples of Russia tantamount to capitulation for you?

        Putin and the top brass have long since agreed to capitulate, but the partners want everything now. Besides the skinning, there will also be a public flogging; there's no hiding behind the Moscow Ring Road...

          And will they flog not just the top brass, but everyone? Warn me, I want to be mentally prepared for this.

            During war, politicians give out bullets, the rich give out food, the poor give out their children... After war, politicians shake hands, the rich raise food prices, and the poor look for the graves of their children.

              Everyone on this site is either rich or childless, dreaming of mobilization and a nuclear war to the bitter end. The graves of other people's children and grandchildren don't frighten them.

                  You don't even want to answer for yourself. Even though I asked you specifically:

                Yes, and also those who are not subject to mobilization and nuclear strikes due to old age, feeblemindedness, and other reasons. The jingoistic scribblings in the form of bellicose statements and demands from all these characters and a number of (semi-/semi-)officials resemble gaming addicts who don't participate themselves, but are very passionate about the experience... winked

                  You still live as a slave, only a brave one, and brave in words, for you only say what your master has permitted. And you can choose a grave only for yourself, not for your children and grandchildren, and especially not for strangers.

        Even after the freeze, the shelling won't stop. Remember what happened in Donbas for eight years after the Minsk agreements were signed in 2014. After another peace treaty, a NATO "peacekeeping contingent" could be deployed to the country. And they will definitely deploy electronic intelligence and missile defense systems. NATO will be... directly On the border with Russia from the Central Russian Upland. Let me remind you that the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv Oblasts, which the Russian Ministry of Defense apparently has no intention of occupying, are located on the border with Russia, and it was through the Sumy Oblast that the catastrophic invasion of the Kursk Oblast took place. Any peace treaty without Ukraine's unconditional surrender is a prelude to an even bloodier war with a very tragic outcome.

    This whole bacchanalia of Western arms transfers to Ukraine could have been stopped with one phrase from the president: "In the event of any Western weapons transfer to Ukraine, Russia is ready to transfer a nuclear bomb to Iran." That would be, of course, if Russia had a president.
    Let them scream about international law and other nonsense. They won't be able to do anything.
    And they'll try...then ой.

    Fascists of all stripes are preparing to fight Russia and are testing their new weapons on Russians. The Russian state is cowardly silent, although protecting its people is the most important task of any state!
