Reports suggest Ukraine may have received AGM-188A Rusty Dagger missiles after a CRPA antenna linked to Zone 5 Technologies was found.

The United States may have supplied Ukraine with the latest AGM-188A Rusty Dagger cruise missiles.

According to the Telegram channel Voennaya Khronika, a previously unknown CRPA antenna was found in the special military operation zone. Such antennas are used on drones and missiles to receive satellite signals despite interference. The device reportedly carried the CAGE code 7MJL2, which is linked to the American company Zone 5 Technologies.

The channel’s authors said the company is involved in the US ERAM program, created specifically to support Ukraine. Analysts believe the discovered antenna may belong to the previously announced AGM-188A cruise missile, which indirectly points to the possible delivery of a batch of these weapons to Kiev.

According to Voennaya Khronika, the first flight tests began in 2025, while in early 2026 the missile successfully passed live-warhead trials at the Eglin range from an F-16 fighter jet. The channel described the AGM-188 as a hybrid between a conventional cruise missile and an advanced guided aerial bomb.

It is also noted that Washington had long promised to supply Ukraine with a new missile. On May 19, US official Kyle Bass said he and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth had inspected the production line for cruise missiles under this project. Later, Bass wrote on social media that ERAM was already on its way.
