JASSM-XR, AKA AGM-158D, is the latest variant.

The AGM-158D upgrade includes a missile control unit, changes to the wings, a different paint coating, an Electronic Safe and Arm Fuze, a secure GPS receiver, and program protection requirements.

Guidance is via inertial navigation with global positioning system updates.

An imaging infrared seeker provides target recognition and terminal homing.

A data link allows the missile to transmit its location and status during flight, allowing improved bomb damage assessment.

The warhead is a WDU-42/B 1,000 lb (450 kg) penetrator.

“If the russians can’t shoot down one of these... There’s no way they can shoot down one of these (JASSM-XR).”

That is probably a good bet. This Polish Government is buying a mountain of any weapons that have been effective against the Russians. I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to buy a thousand of these missiles, and license their own factory to build more.
