๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ BREAKING: Lockheed Martin just landed a $9.5 billion mega contract to mass-produce two of the U.S. militaryโ€™s most powerful missiles: โ€“ LRASM (anti-ship) โ€“ JASSM (air-to-ground) These stealthy, precision-strike weapons are built to cripple enemy defenses from standoff range โ€” and dominate future conflicts. The U.S. is rearming fast.

What makes LRASM and JASSM worth $9.5 billion? Hereโ€™s why the U.S. is betting big on them: ๐Ÿ”น LRASM โ€“ Anti-ship missile โ€“ Range: ~580 km โ€“ Stealthy, autonomous, GPS-jamming resistant โ€“ Cost: $3M+ per missile ๐Ÿ”น JASSM-ER โ€“ Air-to-ground cruise missile โ€“ Range: ~1,000 km โ€“ Can destroy bunkers, radars, and command posts โ€“ Cost: $1.5Mโ€“$2M ๐Ÿ’ฅ Next-gen variants (like JASSM-XR) will push ranges beyond 1,800 km โ€” giving the U.S. global strike reach without entering enemy airspace. The future of warfare is long-range, precise, and invisible.

China could build 5,000 a month for about 1/100th the cost. The only think unique about American weapons is the obscene amount of money the US govt shovels into MIC coffers.

What does the $9.5 billion Lockheed Martin contract cover? The deal spans production Lots 22โ€“26 for JASSM and Lots 9โ€“12 for LRASM, running through 2033. It will fund the estimated production of 4,000โ€“5,000 missiles over the next 5 to 7 years, including: ๐Ÿญ Production will scale across Lockheed facilities in Troy, Alabama, and Orlando, Florida, supporting high-throughput manufacturing. This reflects a broader U.S. shift toward long-range, precision-guided strike capability in response to evolving global threats.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is they reason why the US is forever embroiled in endless wars. Forget terrorism, protection or whatever. It's all about corporate profits for the Bankers and Military Industrial Complex in America.

Do they cost less than $20,000 a piece? Can Lockheed produce 1 million per year? If they canโ€™t then the weapon system is too complex and too expensive for todayโ€™s combat.

Wait till China easily shoots them down. More hyperbole is all our country knows.

Imagine still making non-hypersonic missiles. Maybe next a trebuchet. USA is fighter yesterdays wars with yester years weapons.

LRASM Purpose: Designed to destroy enemy naval vessels Range: Over 300 nautical miles JASSM Purpose: Designed for precision strikes against high-value, heavily defended land targets (e.g., bunkers, command centers). Payload: ~1,000-pound (450 kg)

Wet dream. You are short of everything. You are short of engineers, materials, people. Everybody is at the shopping mall, eating expensive sh1t, piles of protoplasma wandering around. Take a look at the boeing. Once the jewel in the crown of the american engineering, now a shame.

Everyone should note these are not defensive misiles !!!! What possibly would US want to attack ?!?! 7000 misiles over 8 years ..... that's respectable but barely matches Russian production of Iscanders - and I'm sure it's probably 3 to 5 times more expensive!

It's just all about trying to destroy targets for some reasons. The other side is attacking too. If things went all the way, they could ramp up quickly all the way. The in-progress rebuilding areas would be attacked too. The ASI-Singularity(Godsend) is the only Global Solution.

"THE WEAPONS THE U.S. COULD EMPLOY IN ANY NEW STRIKE ON IRAN" In a hypothetical U.S. military strike on Iran, the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) would be a likely weapon of choice, particularly in scenarios emphasizing standoff capabilities to minimize risks to American aircraft and personnel. The JASSM, especially its extended-range variant , offers ranges exceeding 500 miles, allowing launches from well outside Iranian airspace. This avoids direct confrontation with Iran's integrated air defenses, including systems like the Russian-supplied S-300 or indigenous equivalents. JASSM is designed for striking hardened, high-value targets like command centers, missile sites, nuclear facilities, or air defense radars. It features stealth characteristics, GPS/INS guidance, and a penetrating warhead, making it effective against buried or protected installations. While JASSM is prominent, it wouldn't be used in isolation. Tomahawk missiles or massive ordnance penetrators from B-2s could handle specific roles, but JASSM's air-launched flexibility makes it ideal for dynamic targeting. The Rapid Dragon palletized munition system allows JASSM-ER to be launched from the rear cargo ramp of unmodified transport/cargo aircraft. Pallets with missiles are rolled out, parachutes deploy to orient them, and then missiles are air-launched in sequence. This is not the standard method it's a capability developed for distributed operations and to give transports strike potential in a crisis.
