U.S. Notifies Congress of $825 Million ERAM Missile Sale to Ukraine

European partners will fund most of the purchase during the required congressional review.

Overview

  • The State Department’s DSCA notice outlines up to 3,350 ERAM air‑launched missiles and 3,350 embedded GPS/INS units plus software, training, spares and support services.
  • Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway are providing most of the financing alongside U.S. Foreign Military Financing under a Europe-led funding model.
  • The notification is not a signed contract, so congressional approval, final terms and delivery timelines remain pending despite reports suggesting initial shipments could come within weeks.
  • Zone 5 Technologies and CoAspire are named as principal contractors, and Pentagon records show more than $67.3 million was obligated through rapid prototyping OTAs to accelerate ERAM development.
  • Public reporting varies on ERAM’s range and use, and multiple outlets say U.S. approval may be required for any strikes into Russian territory.
