The AGM-158 Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile, or JASSM, had a very troubled development, but is now in service, in its original and extended range form, and is being developed as the next generation of air launched anti-ship missile. A further development program is underway to field it as a surface to surface anti-ship missile. One would hardly be surprised if a land attack surface launched variant emerged as well.
The JASSM is very stealthy, and you’ll notice in the video, a lot of the target arrays simulate air defense systems such as the S-300/400.
