"Roscongress": the American military-industrial complex is strengthening the conventional strike potential of the United States

The US military-industrial complex is rapidly increasing the pace of assembly of heavy stealth cruise missiles to strengthen the US strike potential at the conventional (conventional, non-nuclear) level, according to the Roscongress Foundation report “Scalability and Accessibility: A New Approach to the Militarization of NATO and Allies,” available to RIA Novosti.

In parallel with the deployment of affordable long-range missiles, the traditional leaders of the American military-industrial complex, represented by RTX and Lockheed Martin corporations, as well as their key subcontractor Williams International, are implementing the largest industrial capacity expansion program in their history, the report says.

“This step is aimed at accelerating the pace of assembly of heavy stealth cruise missiles to strengthen the US strike potential at the conventional level,” the message emphasizes.

It is noted that, in particular, at the RTX Corporation's Tomahawk missile plant in Tucson, the expansion of the assembly shop and the construction of additional ammunition storage facilities, begun in 2023 and 2024, have been completed for the first time since the 1980s.

Lockheed Martin launched an assembly plant for the AGM-158 JASSM family of missiles in Troy by the end of 2022. “This facility was the final stage of a phased capacity expansion program that began back in 2015. As a result, over 10 years, Lockheed Martin’s assembly capabilities for the production of long-range AGM 158 missiles, expressed in production space, increased by 270%,” the report states.
