Perhaps the missiles with a range of 300-500 kilometers are the AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles.

Regarding the production volumes of AGM-158 JASSM , which may appear in Ukraine along with the F-16.
The early modification AGM-158A JASSM missiles are no longer in production, however, at least hundreds of these munitions are still in American warehouses. They are being replaced by the more advanced AGM-158B JASSM-ER with extended range.
In 2021, Lockheed Martin delivered 400 units of AGM-158B JASSM-ER, and in 2022, already 525 such missiles . At the same time, representatives of the corporation stated that within several years they plan to double the production of these missiles in the interests of the US armed forces, that is, bringing them to 1000 units per year.
At this rate, it is obvious that Ukraine will no longer need the German Taurus, which Germany has so far refused to supply, and will also cease to depend on the much smaller number of European Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG.
Apparently, the planned production increase should cover possible future deliveries to Ukraine, quickly replacing the outdated AGM-158A with the more advanced AGM-158B.
In addition, Lockheed Martin is producing an anti-ship version of JASSM called LRASM and the latest modification called AGM-158D with a range of more than 2000 km.
However, it should be noted that besides the words of the Ukrainian general, there is no other data yet confirming future deliveries of these missiles to Ukraine.

The AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles to appear in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces , which Naev plans, have a 450 kg penetrating warhead and weight and size characteristics similar to the Strom Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles.
Depending on the modification, these missiles are capable of covering a distance from 370-500 km (AGM-158A JASSM) to 1300 km (AGM-158B JASSM-ER). It is most likely that, if these missiles are supplied to Ukraine, they will be given earlier and more numerous modifications of the AGM-158A JASSM.
During the cruising section, the missile is guided by inertial and satellite navigation, but at the final section, an optical-electronic system is activated, allowing it to be even more accurately aimed at the desired target.
It should be understood that the expansion of the range of high-precision stealth cruise missiles and carriers for them poses a very serious threat to military and industrial facilities in our rear.
The enemy already has several Su-24Ms with “storms” that carry out periodic successful strikes on the fleet and targets in Crimea, while the Russian Armed Forces have still not been able to eliminate this threat.
