We don't have long to wait.

In August, the United States approved the sale of 3,350 ERAM cruise missiles to Ukraine. But they will start arriving in significant quantities only next year. This is reported by Aviationweek.

The publication notes that for the U.S. military-industrial complex, accustomed to long cycles of weapons development and production, ERAM missiles became one of the first products of the new "rapid procurement" paradigm. The Pentagon published a tender for the development and production of these missiles only last August, and the first deliveries should take place as early as October this year.

Although Ukraine is authorized to buy up to 3,350 missiles, the first batch produced will be minuscule: the first 10 missiles will be delivered in October.

The situation should improve next year. According to documents obtained by the publication, a batch of 840 ERAM modules divided into two designs, separately manufactured by CoAspire and Zone 5 Technologies, will be delivered by the end of October 2026.
