US Approves $825M ERAM Missile Sale to Ukraine: Analysis and Implications
The US Department of State has approved a potential $825 million Foreign Military Sale to Ukraine, encompassing 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles, along with associated equipment and training. This sale, financed by the US, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, aims to bolster Ukraine’s self-defense capabilities and enhance regional stability. Each ERAM missile boasts a 460-kilometer range and is designed to complicate Russian air defenses. This follows Ukraine’s earlier proposal for a large-scale purchase of American weapons, including an expansion of drone production, to secure long-term security guarantees.
