The U.S. $500 million aid package for Ukraine includes AGM-88 HARM high-speed anti-radiation missiles.

These missiles have been in use by Ukraine’s Armed Forces for three years now and, according to military personnel, effectively blind enemy air defense systems by destroying Russian radars.

According to Espreso TV, the AGM-88 HARM or High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile,is an American high-speed anti-radar missile. It was designed for Western-made aircraft to neutralize Soviet-era air defense systems and radar stations emitting electronic signals. The missile was introduced into service in 1983 as a replacement for the AGM-45 Shrike and is capable of locking onto high-frequency radar systems. It is resistant to traditional countermeasures, such as turning off the radar or changing operating frequencies. The missile calculates the target’s location and can strike even if the radar system is shut down.

The first reports of AGM-88 HARM missiles being used in Ukraine came from Russian sources on August 7, 2022, when remnants of the missile were discovered at Russian positions. An inscription on a piece of tail fin indicated the origin of the missile. At the time, no official announcements had been made about their transfer to Ukraine, sparking speculation among military experts. These missiles are typically integrated with American or European fighter jets, none of which were in Ukraine’s arsenal at the time. Initially, some suggested that Ukraine had developed ground-based launch systems for these missiles.

Later, the Pentagon confirmed the supply of these missiles to Ukraine. It was eventually revealed how Ukraine’s Air Force managed to adapt these weapons for use without American aircraft.

A video presented by the Air Force Command on August 30, 2022, dedicated to Ukrainian pilot Yevhen Lysenko, who heroically died in an air battle with the Russian occupiers, shed light on this issue.

After analyzing the video, the Defense Express authors explained how the MiG-29 was adapted to use the HARMs. For this purpose, a transitional pylon was used, which houses all the necessary equipment for pre-launch preparation of the missile. Thanks to it, one MiG can carry two AGM-88 HARMs.

Serhiy Zgurets, CEO of Defense Express, highlighted in his column for Espreso TV that the integration of HARM missiles into Ukrainian aviation represents a unique blend of modern technology and innovative solutions. This integration has enabled HARM missiles to effectively “clear the sky” for Ukrainian forces.

“In the case of Ukrainian MiG-29 fighters, a transition pylon, a device between the wing and the missile, was used to install HARM missiles, which packs all the necessary equipment so that the missile is prepared for launching at enemy targets before launch. It seems simple, but in fact it required a number of difficult decisions that had to be made in an extremely short time. It took several weeks of such exhausting but effective work, and today we have a new type of weapon,” Zgurets wrote.
