Russian sources are publishing photos of an unknown 8-element CRPA antenna. On the back side of the unit there is a circuit board with a large heatsink, which carries the CAGE code 7MJL2, belonging to the US company Zone 5 Technologies. The board itself has an engraved assembly code — 040131-50 rev A01.

There is a strong assumption (with a high degree of probability) that the debris belongs to a component of the ERAM (Extended Range Attack Munition) program — specifically the AGM-188A “Rusty Dagger” cruise missile.

Pretty sexy looking carbon fiber body small cruise missile. A 500 pound warhead and a 280 mile range is nothing to scoff at and Ukraine is cleared to purchase up to 3,350 ERAMs (now FAMM-L) including spares and support equipment for an estimated cost of $825 million. Ukraine is expected to use funding from Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and United States Foreign Military Financing for the purchase.

to lug something around is to carry something heavy. It makes perfect sense for a heavy bomb under wing I suspect you aren't native English speaker
