Denmark To Equip F-35 Fighters With Advanced Air-Launched Missiles
The US State Department has approved a potential foreign military sale of Lockheed Martin’s Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles-Extended Range (JASSM-ER) to Denmark, which plans to equip its F-35 Joint Strike Fighters with the advanced air-launched cruise missiles. The sale, which could include up to 200 missiles, is seen as a significant enhancement of Denmark’s air power capabilities. According to Aviation Week, the approval is part of a broader trend of NATO member states investing in advanced defense systems.
