There are first signs that Ukraine has been supplied with ERAM project missiles, namely the AGM-188A Rusty Dagger.

Z-channels published photos of an unidentified 8-element CPRA antenna found in the wreckage of a Ukrainian missile (photo 1).

The Ukrainian expert channel “SPZh "Vodogray"”, based on the assembly code and the CAGE code on the back of the unit, concludes that the board belongs to the American company Zone 5 Technologies, which is the main contractor for this missile (photo 2).

Another Ukrainian OSINT channel "Admire Them, Bulgarians" says it recently spoke with American defense insider Colby Badhwar, and he confirmed that the Trump administration kept paying contracts from the remaining Biden-era USAI funds for ERAM development (together with Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway), and promised that Ukraine should see these missiles later.

"Looks like 'later' has arrived," "Admire Them, Bulgarians".

The ERAM program has a very long and cumbersome history. It is a hybrid of a cruise missile and a guided bomb with a 230-250 kg warhead (the figures vary) and a range of up to 450 km, which began to be designed back in July 2024 specifically for the battlefield in Ukraine: the main requirements were simplicity, low cost, and the ability to overcome dense Russian EW.

The transfer of these missiles was announced back in August 2025, and they were expected by October, but, as always, something went wrong, and nothing had been heard about ERAM since then.

In April, Yigal Levin published footage of ERAM being tested by American F-16s (photo 3).

And now, possibly, the missile has finally made it to Ukraine.

"Admire Them, Bulgarians" writes that the original contract was for 1,000 missiles over 2 years (that is 40 missiles a month), but of course, we will see how it actually turns out.

God willing, that is what this is. An additional means of striking the near and medium rear areas would not go amiss right now, even in such limited numbers.

P.S. This is unrelated to today’s strikes on the Chongar bridge; FP-1 drones were used there.
