WASHINGTON -- The recent U.S. air strikes on Syria saw the combat debut of the Joint Air-to-Syrfafe Stamd-off Missile (JASSM), not its extended range variant. Original reports said U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers fired JASSM-ERs during the April 13 operation against Syrian chemical weapons facilities.
Later, the Pentagon corrected this statement. The U.S. actually used the standard JASSM version, not the JASSM-ER, according to U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, director of the Joint Staff.
Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor for the JASSM and JASSM-ER.
