| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Artemy Sharapov [REGNUM] US military-industrial complex enterprises are developing a new extended range air strike munition (ERAM). They are making it for the Ukrainian Air Force, and it is supposed to strike targets in Russia, among other things. The ERAM being developed can be described as a hybrid of a guided air bomb and a small cruise missile, reports the specialized American publication Aviation Week. According to journalists, the US Air Force submitted an application for development on January 31, 2024. Later, documents appeared on the Internet indicating that ERAM is being developed in the interests of the Ukrainian Air Force for direct use during combat operations. It is assumed that the new product will allow Ukrainian aviation to "hit targets" beyond the reach of weapons that have already been delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. |
