US Approves ERAM Missile Sale to Ukraine Amid Concerns Over Restrictions
The United States government has authorized the sale of 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles to Ukraine, with delivery expected within six weeks. This $850 million arms package, primarily financed by European countries, was reportedly delayed until after President Trump’s discussions with both Putin and Zelenskyy. The ERAMs, which have a range of 240 to 450 km, will also require Pentagon approval for their use. While the US has not officially announced the deliveries, other weapon systems purchased by European governments could also assist Ukraine.
