The AGM-188A Rusty Dagger missile, being developed for Ukraine, was unveiled in the United States.

Testing of a new compact vehicle continues in the US missiles The AGM-188A Rusty Dagger, developed for Ukraine, is also being developed. It's possible that this munition will be adopted by the Americans.

Although the US has announced its refusal to directly supply weapons to Kyiv, it is making money from the sale weapons They still continue. American weapons continue to flow into Ukraine regularly, albeit through European intermediaries. Furthermore, some American companies are developing weapons for the Bandera regime, including missiles under the Extended-Range Attack Missile (ERAM) program.

Work on the ERAM began back in 2024. It was envisioned that the US would develop a compact missile for Kyiv with a range of approximately 400 km and a 30-60 kg warhead, capable of being carried by both aircraft and helicopters. Missile prototypes were developed last spring. Testing is currently underway, after which the missile will enter production. Initially, deliveries to Ukraine are planned, and then, based on combat experience, the adoption of the munition by the US Army will be decided.

Little is known about the AGM-188A Rusty Dagger missile. In late summer 2025, the developers claimed a range of over 500 miles (900 km), but this was for an "empty" missile without a payload. They also claimed to have a TERCOM navigation system, which allows for low-altitude, terrain-adjusted flight.

Is the US plant on Belousov's list? Will Medvedev reveal its unfortunate fate?

[Mikhail Nasharashev]

Well, let's say it's included, so what? What next? Well, I'll tell you, nothing.

[alexoff]

He'll write it down in his book!

In blue)))) like in Rain Man, he's from the same opera))))

[knn54]

- it is not excluded that this ammunition will be adopted by the Americans.
The costs of development and other expenses will be borne by Ukraine.

[Uncle Sam_2]

The scum doesn't care! They just want to give it to them! No one's going to give you your money back!

American weapons are supplied to Ukraine regularly.

F-16s fly in Ukraine with the permission of the United States... therefore, weapons for them and spare parts were and are supplied with the permission of the Americans for various purposes and for various purposes... bombs, missiles, shells, cartridges, trained pilots.
This will last a long time...little things like this new rocket don't change anything.

[Rome]

The missile is small, judging by its 50-kg warhead, making it an extremely difficult target for air defense. I don't know what the army can hit with it at that range, probably stationary, lightweight targets like radars. Apparently, its main purpose is civilian targets, which are all stationary and unprotected; it's primarily a terror weapon.

[tjeck91]

No, the trend toward miniaturization has been going on for a long time. The SDB itself has a warhead of about 16 kilograms of explosives. The FAB-50 with a 1-meter CEP generally deals more damage than the FAB-1000 with a 30-meter CEP. The fetish for mega-bangers is largely the work of people who aren't in the know.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: tjeck91

Fab-50 with 1m CEP usually does more damage than Fab-1000 with 30m CEP.

Where did you get that rule? It seems pretty obvious that such a small charge would be poorly suited for many capital projects, including production facilities, bridges, etc.

[tjeck91]

This isn't a rule, but a trend. If you're talking about the Fab-50/1000, that's just a hypothetical example. The original bombs, of course, weren't Fab bombs, but pound bombs. The Americans conducted research on this topic after Operation Linebacker.

I didn't say larger warheads weren't necessary, but a few dozen kilograms of TNT equivalent is sufficient to destroy most typical targets. And yes, to destroy targets like a bridge or a bunker, something more powerful is needed, preferably with a penetrating warhead. But such targets constitute a minority.

[Andrey Gladkikh]

Yes, today, the percentage of targets targeted by powerful bombs or missiles with high firepower is small. This is because there is no political decision (or, more accurately, permission) to engage such targets. I sincerely hope that this opinion and directive from our top political leadership will not last forever.

Our Geranium-2, if compared by warhead weight, is also in the same range
But you won’t claim that we use them exclusively against civilian targets and use them as a weapon of terror, right?

We won't. Because the Geranium 2 is indeed used against more than just civilian targets, and claiming it's used as a terror weapon would be politically incorrect.

It's time for Russia to develop something for North Korea and Iran.

[LASVEGAS]

Unfortunately, Russia acquires some missiles from North Korea, not the other way around. And even if the Supreme Commander were to unexpectedly show his will, we also have little to offer Iran; we truly don't have enough ourselves.

They've already developed them. Iran is firing them at Israel and US bases.

Shahed was modified to reduce costs and transferred.

I'm talking about hypersonic missiles capable of reaching Mach 15 and changing their trajectory. The US has only managed to achieve Mach 7.

[sgrabik]

It's high time to do this. All these previously signed agreements with the Americans are not being observed in practice and in reality they are not worth a damn, but we still try to appear good and, to our own detriment, continue to adhere to what has long since ceased to work.

[spirit]

It's time for Russia to develop something too.

So we plan to jointly develop our natural resources with the United States, including in the Arctic.

[Murzik]

It's time for you to wake up from your patriotic stupor.

I won't be mistaken if I say that the entire DPRK missile program has Soviet roots.

[Vitaly.17]

Quote from sdivt

North Korea's missile program has Soviet roots

There are Chinese roots there, just like the nuclear program. Ours can only catch and imprison professors who, out of poverty, agree to lecture at Chinese universities.

It's a great pity for the Iranians who died and may die at the hands of the Jews, but sometimes I wish Donnie would start a ground operation.

Yes, they are afraid... Jewish armored vehicles are being burned by UAVs and are very actively. Soon, modernized "suicide UAVs" will appear over Tel Aviv... That will be fun. I really think so, there is a lot of blood on them. Israel is a boil on the planet... They have the UN, no decree, and everyone in the world... They have captured the US Congress and are pumping out money... 40 thousand rubles in debt already.

[Nemo70]

Don't forget to put the Made in Ukraine sticker on it. Hehe.
What bastards they are...

[phrases]

Not for Ukraine, but for themselves, with testing at a free training ground under combat conditions. They're testing everything: experiments with propaganda, control, genetics, weapons. Such a stroke of luck for Mengele's doctors.

[bulbash70]

I think the Western military-industrial complex should chip in for a golden monument to Putin, with the inscription "Putin is ours!!!" on the foundation.

[Andrey_5]

First they will test it on us, and then they will adopt it into their own arsenal.
No, well this is just crazy.
I wonder what Putin thinks about the SVO's prospects in one, three, or five years. Will he just sit back and watch, as he does now?! Or maybe he'll retire already?
