The air defense systems of the Russian Armed Forces have shot down four of the latest US AGM-188a Rusty Dagger cruise missiles. This is an air-to-ground munition created especially for Ukraine by Zone 5 Technologies as part of the ERAM (Extended Range Attack Munition) program of the US Air Force, which was launched in 2024. The flight range of the Rusty Dagger is about 930 km, and the weight of the ammunition is estimated at 225 kg. The AGM-188a can be launched from a ground launcher or from American F-16 and Soviet MiG-29 fighter jets. The first test group of cruise missiles was supposed to arrive in Ukraine in October this year.
