The US Air Force received the first batch of serial JASSM-ER

The US Air Force announced the adoption of the first batch of JASSM-ER (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile - Extended Range) air-to-surface series cruise missiles.

Missiles arrived at the US Air Force "Dyce" airbase (shT.Techas).

The basic version of the AGM-158A JASSM is a long-range, self-guided, high-precision air-to-ground missile 2000 pounds, equipped with a penetrating / high-explosive fragmentation warhead, an infrared GPS and a noise-free GPS navigation system. The rocket is designed to hit at any time of the day and in adverse weather conditions of highly protected targets located in the depth of the enemy’s territory at a distance of 370 km.

The AGM-158B JASSM-ER is highly unified with the base version (70% hardware and 90% software), including the external layout, survival rate, and destructive effect, and has a 2,5 nautical miles (500 km) longer launch times.

Like the basic version, the KR JASSM-ER is designed to destroy at any time of the day and in adverse weather conditions highly protected targets located in the depths of the enemy’s territory.

B-52, B-1B, B-2 bombers, as well as F-16 and F-15E fighters can be used as carriers of JASSM missiles. JASSM-ER rocket is integrated only aboard the B-1B so far. Work continues on its integration into the F-15E, F-16 and B-52 aircraft.

JASSM missiles entered service with the US in 2009 year. The mass of the ammunition is 907 kg, it is equipped with a penetrating warhead of 450 kg.

Permission for small batch production of JASSM-ER was obtained in November 2011. In November 2012, the military tests of JASSM-ER were completed, the results of which gave permission for the mass production of this version of the CD.

The implementation of the JASSM program began in 1998. In total, the United States Air Force intends to acquire up to 4900 missiles in the JASSM and JASSM-ER versions.

    Who in the know please explain whether we have analogues, airborne subsonic airborne 300-1000 km. for frontline aviation. X 555 or x 101 are not suitable, unless of course there is a stripped-down option. Maybe 3m-54?

      There is no direct analogue.
      ours are limited to the modernized X-59MK2 with a range of slightly less than 300km
      further only X-55 and X-101

      theoretically, there is still an aviation version of 3M14A with a range of up to 2600km (presumably in the nuclear version), but apparently he was not interested in the Moscow Region

          hello Sergey!

          carry "it is now on .... bully in LII and 54th

          glad to hear that. I hope they carry including the Su-34)

          In the photo, as I understand it, the new distant KS-172?
          if it’s not a secret, is it being finalized or have R-37 (RVV-DB) been chosen?

            On the 3rd series and the rest there are no modified ones, only these ones: (not all "fit" wassat ) .but the main good



            And everything "new" is promised already on the Su-34M bully

      Well, to have the same characteristics, no. The X-55 family is a relative of Tomahawk, both in mass, range, and on the principle of guidance.
      The ZM54 is an anti-ship cruise missile. Tactical aviation is 3M-14A, it also has an INS flight with satellite correction, but the seeker is not IR, but ARLGSN, which is rather strange for a tactical missile, because by far "not all targets are equally contrasting." The choice of such a seeker was reflected in the range, only 300 km. and a mass of 1,4 tons. The length is also not small, 6,2 m. against 4,2m. from JASSM. This is because ARLGSN has a large mass and takes up a large volume. Those. with a stretch can be called 3M-14A analog.

        They won’t go far (in the sense of a solution on the surface, go just far), they will trust Israel or Turkey to test in Syria. And the crews can be staffing to evaluate the results and gain experience in the application.

    Everything goes to ensure that the KR AGM-158B JASSM-ER becomes the only KR in the United States. Based on it, a new anti-ship missile system is being designed for the US Navy, and after the termination of purchases of the BGM-109 Tomahawk, the AGM-158B JASSM-ER missile becomes the only tactical missile launcher. In theory, JASSM-ER should replace the BGM-109 Tomahawk deployed on nuclear submarines and surface ships, the only question is when? Also unclear is the JASSM-ER range of 1000 km. obviously not enough to solve tactical tasks, but in some places there is a range of 1300 km, which against the background of the news about the cessation of purchases BGM-109 Tomahawk sounds believable.
    And finally. Lockheed Martin pushes competitors out of their usual sphere, Raytheon loses a lot of money due to the lack of orders for the BGM-109 Tomahawk ...

      It is very similar to the truth, especially when statements about the termination of purchases of Tomahawks appeared in 2016. The only confusing range is that the Tomahawks' range reached 2500-3200 km, depending on the modification and the carrier, but here it is at least twice less. Most likely, this is only the first swallow, the following modifications will be long-range. Again, this is an air-to-ground missile; for shipborne missiles, the range may be different.

        Confused only by the range - the "Tomahawks" it reached 2500-3200 km

        This is a nuclear b / h. It is smaller in volume and smaller in mass than a high-explosive penetrating b / h. The tactical Tomahawk flew 1300-1500 m. The range depends on weather conditions and terrain.

        It’s hard to say, it all depends on the turbojet engine, if it’s more economical, and only by reducing the volume of b / h and increasing the volume of fuel ...

        Less ... Do not forget, when starting from an airplane, the rocket already has a reserve of speed and altitude, when starting from a ship, on the contrary, it is necessary to gain speed and altitude.
