The United States has approved a potential $842 million Foreign Military Sale to Denmark for 200 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles-Extended Range (JASSM-ER). Integrated with the Royal Danish Air Force’s F-35 fighter aircraft, the stealthy cruise missile significantly enhances long-range strike capabilities. With a range approaching 1,000 kilometers and a 450-kilogram penetrating warhead, JASSM-ER is designed to engage heavily defended targets such as air-defense sites, command centers, logistics hubs, and military infrastructure while remaining outside hostile missile engagement zones. The acquisition strengthens Denmark’s ability to conduct precision deep-strike missions and contributes to NATO’s collective deterrence posture.
