US Air Force Triples LRASM, JASSM Production
1 source · first reported 2h ago
The US Air Force plans to buy over 11,000 new JASSM and LRASM cruise missiles in the next 5-7 years, significantly expanding its inventory. This move is part of a new contract that will triple the production of these missiles. The JASSM and LRASM have seen their production objectives increased periodically over the past decade.
Why it matters
The increased production of JASSM and LRASM missiles enhances the US Air Force's capabilities, particularly in long-range precision strike. This expansion also reflects the Pentagon's ongoing efforts to modernize its arsenal and strengthen its defense posture.
