The US Department of State has approved the sale of more than 3,000 ERAM cruise missiles and equipment to Ukraine, according to a statement by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency of the US Department of Defense.
The statement said that Ukraine has requested up to 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles and the same number of Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation Systems (INS)/(EGI) with Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM).
The supply package will also include “missile containers; stoker pylons; component parts and support equipment; spare parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support; weapons software and support equipment; mission planning system hardware; classified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment; transportation support; studies and surveys; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.”
The estimated total cost is $825 million.
“This proposed sale will improve Ukraine’s capability to meet current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions,” the statement added.
Ukraine will use funding from Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, and Foreign Military Financing from the United States for this purchase.
“The ERAM is an example of working together with our NATO allies to develop a capable and scalable system capable of being delivered on a fast timeline,” the statement said.
ERAM is a long-range air-to-surface cruise missile designed to strike land and sea targets.
