United States provides Ukraine with ERAM missiles
In a significant development, the United States, under President Donald Trump, is reportedly set to supply Ukraine with ERAM missiles. This decision, made on Saturday, follows a week after Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin's visit to Alaska.
The ERAM missiles, with a range of up to 450 kilometers, are expected to be available to Kyiv in approximately six weeks. A total of 3,550 ERAM missiles are to be delivered as part of a weapons package costing $850 million (around €726 million). The package also includes air and missile defense systems.
The ERAM missiles, according to military expert Nico Lange, make more military targets in Russia reachable. This assertion was also made by an unnamed military specialist in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The report was based on information from government sources.
In addition to the ERAM missiles, Kyiv recently announced the development of its own long-range missile, "Flamingo," with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers. The "Flamingo" missile, still in testing, is expected to be deployed by the end of the year and will be available in large numbers.
The plan to deliver the missiles to Ukraine dates back to the era of Joe Biden, but was only completed under President Donald Trump. The United States' decision to supply Ukraine with these missiles has been met with anticipation, as it could potentially shift the balance of power in the region.
The delivery of the ERAM missiles to Ukraine, coupled with the development and deployment of the "Flamingo" missile, gives Kyiv the ability, with the support of European allies and Trump's urging, to strike Russia hard. However, it is important to note that the exact impact of these developments remains to be seen.
The report on the ERAM missile delivery was also mentioned in a report by the "Wall Street Journal". The source of the information for this article is ntv.de and mpa.
