The Long-Range Air-to-Ground Missile (LAGM) is a special weapon of the Ace Combat series. The missile is designed to destroy grouped targets at long to medium range. The missile has a wide area of destruction, but is of little use to destroy heavily armored targets like fortresses due to its low armor penetration.
LAGM first appears in the Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War as the special weapon of the F-4G Wild Weasel and is present in later games of the Ace Combat series. In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon the LAGM and Long-Range Air-to-Ship Missile (LASM) were consolidated into one type simply named LAGM, and as a result this of the missile flew to the chosen target with the flight profile of the anti-ship missile, but retained the area of destruction of the air-to-ground missile, although the area of destruction is decreased significantly compared to earlier games in the series.
In most cases, the LAGM is modeled as the anti-radar missile AGM-88 HARM for U.S. aircraft, or as the anti-radar missile Kh-31 for Russian aircraft.

Ace Combat Infinity
- "An air-to-ground missile that features both long range and high power. Though not as large as a bomb, the blast after impact is still large, enveloping the vicinity of the target. It is especially effective against clusters of ground targets at long range or tough ground targets."
