Information about the possibility of transferring Tomahawk missiles from the US to Ukraine is causing debate among experts. According to the Financial Times, if such a decision is made, American specialists will be in charge of managing the missiles, which will avoid lengthy training for Ukrainian military personnel, while also leaving the choice of targets for strikes under the control of the US.



At the same time, according to a high-ranking NATO official, the transfer of Tomahawk missiles could have political consequences, including provoking 'harsh criticism' from Moscow. However, it is worth noting that frontline fighters are already achieving success thanks to strike drones, so uncertainty about Russia's response to such a step remains.



Reference

The Tomahawk missile is an American cruise missile that can land within 5-10 meters of its target. It strikes targets at great distances, is used for precision strikes, and can have various types of warheads.



The mentioned possibility is causing outrage and discussion among experts. The ambiguity of Russia's reaction to this step leaves the question open about possible political consequences in the future.
