On May 28, the Polish Ministry of National Defence signed a substantial contract with the United States government for the procurement of JASSM AGM-158B ER air-launched cruise missiles, manufactured by American defence industry giant Lockheed Martin.
According to the ministry, the deal is valued at approximately USD 735 million. Deliveries of the JASSM-ER cruise missiles will begin in 2026 and are scheduled to be completed by 2030.
The exact number of JASSM-ER cruise missiles ordered by Poland has not been disclosed. The Polish Ministry of National Defence stated that the contract covers “several hundred” missiles. However, in March 2024, the United States Department of State approved a possible sale to Poland of up to 821 JASSM-ER missiles.
