When we imagine fighter jets soaring through the blue sky and missiles slicing through the sky like meteors, striking enemy targets with precision, it seems like a scene from a Hollywood blockbuster. However, this is not pure fiction. Recently, the Netherlands** provided Ukraine with six advanced F-16 fighter jets, which are planned to be equipped with Jassm missiles with high stealth capabilities, injecting new vitality into Ukraine's air defense.
Jassm, the name sounds like the crystallization of high technology. Its full name is the "Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile," and this missile not only has an ultra-long range, but is also technologically first-class. It is equipped with an internationally advanced turbocharged engine, which integrates inertial navigation and an infrared tracking system with GPS correction, automatic identification and positioning functions. This is not just a missile, but a precise work of art.
And the most eye-catching of them is Jassm's ** device - "Shadowless Arrow". This technology allows the missile to evade the detection of enemy radar during flight, and becomes a sharp blade to break through the Russian air defense system. Its precision strike capability of more than 300 kilograms, combined with a hit deviation of only 3 meters, is enough to make the enemy fearful.
However, how did these tips end up in the hands of Ukraine? It turns out that behind all this is a complex international arms sales deal. Previously, the United States had agreed to give the Netherlands about 0$800 million in JASSM and its equipment. And the Netherlands showed a strong interest in this, and it can even be said that it was "love at first sight". The missiles will be carried on the F-35 fighter jets of the Dutch Air Force before being delivered to Ukraine by the Netherlands, completing an unprecedented "rocket relay".
Although the JASSM missile has been in service to the United States for 20 years, its scientific and technological level is still leading the world. Its anti-detection (stealth) characteristics make this missile extremely survivable on the battlefield. For the Ukrainian Air Force, even if these are only unimproved first-generation fighters, this is undoubtedly a huge performance boost.
The commander-in-chief of the three Ukrainian armed forces, Major General Sergei Naev, showed great interest in the arms sale. He elaborated on the range of such missiles and said that effective strikes can be carried out at a range of about 453 kilometers from Kharkiv to the Tula district. Even more surprising is the possibility that the missile launched from the direction of Maye could even reach the outskirts of Moscow, including the road of the Louvre-Zospensko. This means that Ukraine now has one of the most powerful long-range attack means in history.
This military aid is not only a simple transaction, but also a scientific and technological exchange. The commissioning of the JASSM missile will not only enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian Air Force, but also bring profound changes to the future battlefield environment. The tacit cooperation between the Netherlands, the United States and Ukraine will undoubtedly bring new challenges and opportunities to the security model in the region.
February** Dynamic Incentive Program We expect that the F-16 fighter jet equipped with JASSM will be able to show its great power on the battlefield in the future and bring more strategic benefits to Ukraine. At the same time, we also hope that such cooperation can inject more positive energy into regional peace and stability.
