USAF used $1.4 missile for first time ever when striking Syria
By Staff Writer| April 16th, 2018|Military News, U.S. Air Force|0 Comments



The Saturday airstrikes against the Syrian military ushered in the first ever combat use of a very interesting US precision weapon, a monumental occasion for its developers at Lockheed Martin.

An extended-range variant of the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile, the AGM-158B JASSM-ER entered service in 2014 but was never used in combat until this weekend, when two B-1B heavy bombers unleashed an arsenal of JASSMS- including the extended-range variant.
