Ukraine received from Germany JFS-M missiles for Himars MLRS with a very long range

Germany has transferred an unnamed number of long-range JFS-M missiles to Ukraine for the Himars MLRS.

Negotiations between Ukraine and the United States on the provision of ATACMS missiles for the Himars MLRS were only a cover - at this time, Kyiv received an unnamed number of JFS-M missiles from Germany, which have a target engagement range of up to 499 kilometers. This is stated by a number of independent sources both in Ukraine and in Germany, moreover, the very transfer of such weapons was previously indirectly voiced by German Chancellor Scholz, stating that the Armed Forces of Ukraine require modern missiles.

At the moment, neither the circumstances of the receipt of German JFS-M missiles by Ukraine, nor their total number remain unknown, however, given that we are talking about low-observable cruise missiles, with their official strike range of up to 499 kilometers, such weapons are very serious threat, as it allows strikes in the rear.

It is noteworthy that information about the receipt by Ukraine of German cruise missiles for Himars, MLRS and MARS II launchers appeared after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the need to continue to transfer to Ukraine not the weapons that are considered superfluous in the arsenal of the German army, but the one that is the most efficient and modern. At the same time, Berlin has not yet commented on information about the supply of JFS-M missiles for the American MLRS Himars and the like.
