The Ukrainian Armed Forces may have used new American missiles to strike a factory in Voronezh
The Ukrainian Armed Forces may have used new American AGM-188A Rusty Dagger cruise missiles during the attack on the Voronezh Semiconductor Plant.
Forbes reports this, citing American analysts.
According to the publication, the missile was developed as part of the U.S. Air Force’s Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) program specifically for use with F-16 fighter jets. It was developed by the American company Zone 5, which was later acquired by the Norwegian corporation Kongsberg.
Journalists claim that Ukraine allegedly ordered 3,550 such missiles for a total of $825 million. The cost of a single Rusty Dagger is estimated at approximately $246,000, which is significantly cheaper than Storm Shadow missiles.
According to Forbes, the AGM-188A has a range of over 900 kilometers and is equipped with a turbojet engine. The first flight tests of this missile took place in April 2026.
Analysts believe that this new weapon enables the Ukrainian Air Force to strike targets deep behind enemy lines while remaining outside the range of Russian air defenses.
