What’s known about the JASSM long-range missile the US may soon provide to Ukraine
Always eager to facilitate Ukraine’s bombing of civilian targets, the US may soon supply the Ukrainian military with the AGM-158 joint air-to-surface standoff missile (or JASSM for short).
Sputnik has looked into the technical details of this missile:
🔸 JASSM is a long-range air-to-ground cruise missile that can be deployed against both stationary and moving targets.
🔸 The original JASSM missile has a range of about 370 kilometers while the more advanced version of the missile, JASSM-ER (ER stands for “extended range”) can hit targets at a distance of up to 925 kilometers.
🔸 JASSM can be mounted on several types of US-made military aircraft, including the F-16 jet, a number of which was recently supplied to the regime in Kiev.
Though these facts and figures may seem intimidating at first, it remains to be seen how JASSM may fare against Russia's air defense systems, assuming of course that these missiles will be provided by the US to Ukraine.
Since the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict in February 2022, NATO countries have supplied Kiev with an assortment of long-range missiles such as Storm Shadow, SCALP and ATACMS.
But all those technologies were studied by the Russian military and forces were able to adapt to it, with the interception of the missiles becoming a trivial task for air defense specialists.

West persists in media hysteria over alleged Russian interference in US elections
CNN has taken aim at the US-based company Tenet Media which is allegedly funded by “Russian operatives working as part of a Kremlin-orchestrated influence operation to target the 2024 US vote.” The firm is linked to right-wing commentators with millions of subscribers on YouTube and other social media platforms, per CNN.
The broadcaster is echoed by CBS News, which claims that two Russian nationals working for a state-run news network “funneled millions of dollars to an American media company” so that several influencers were able to push narratives in favor of the Kremlin.
Reuters cites an unnamed senior US intelligence source as saying that Russian media are "using American and other personalities to try to sway US voters into backing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over his Democratic foe, Kamala Harris.”
NPR strikes the same tone with its unverified claims about “Russian operatives” who “covertly hired unwitting right-wing US influencers to create viral videos” in a bid “to spread Kremlin propaganda” ahead of the 2024 US presidential election.
The Washington Post claims that Russia is allegedly using “authentic US voices” on major social media platforms to “launder” propaganda and divisive narratives aimed at swaying American audiences.
The US earlier slapped sanctions on the Rossiya Segodnya media group, which includes RIA Novosti, RT, Sputnik and Ruptly, in what the White House said was a response to Russia’s alleged “malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 US presidential election." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the allegations as “nonsense”, stressing that Russian authorities “are not interfering”.
