Poland can buy Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) missiles from the United States, which are considered "killers" of the enemy's missile defense systems, in particular, the Russian S-400 Triumph complexes. This is reported by the Polish edition of Defence24.

The publication says that the missiles can receive Polish fighters F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-35 Lightning II.

It is not excluded that the AARGM can be used to strike Belarus. "The possible implementation of the AARGM for the F-16 will also make it possible to prepare a database of threats, including on the basis of flights conducted near the borders of Poland with the Kaliningrad region and Belarus," the newspaper writes.

Defence24 notes that "the AARGM anti-radiation missile program is an example of the gradual capacity building needed on a modern battlefield." In particular, at the first stage of the project (the AGM-88E AARGM variant), the main attention was paid to the radio-electronic component of the missile, at the second (AGM-88G AARGM-ER) - to the engine and airframe, which made it possible to increase the range of the missile and integrate it with modern fighters.

The publication assures that the AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range (AARGM-ER) will become "an important tool for F-35 fighters to combat elements of restriction and prohibition of access and maneuver." "A high-speed missile will be able to hit targets at relatively long ranges in a short time, while maintaining the characteristics of reduced visibility," the publication says.

In March 2019, Jane's 360 announced that the F/A-18E Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler and F-35 Lightning II will receive the AGM-88G AARGM-ER supersonic anti-radar missile.

The developer of the AGM-88G AARGM-ER is the American company Northrop Grumman. The weapon has been created since 2015. Adoption is planned for 2023. The rocket is equipped with a homing head with inertial and global (satellite) navigation systems, as well as an infrared sensor.
