US close to agreeing on long-range missiles (JASSMs) for Ukraine; delivery to take months

Although this deal is not final and will take months to implement, the Biden administration appears to be strongly considering it.

Ukrainian acquisition of JASSMs would put more of Russia into its range (>230 miles/370 km), which Putin may view as an escalation.

I personally think its only a matter of time before Russia is provoked and we see some sort of [potentially asymmetric] response.

    Range is roughly comparable to that of Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG (550km on a minimum energy trajectory).
