Ukraine Is Not Yet Ready to Use Tomahawk Missiles
The military intelligence agency of Ukraine, the HUR, explained that the use of Tomahawk missiles requires significant technical capabilities, and that is why Ukraine will not be able to use them yet.
The Gaze writes about this referring to The Guardian.
Vadym Skibitskyi, the deputy head of the HUR, pointed out that even if the country is provided with long-range Tomahawk missiles, it will be difficult to use them, as the Armed Forces do not have strategic aircraft from which to launch them.
"They are not easy to use. The main launchers are warships or strategic bombers. We don't have any strategic bomber aircraft," Skibitskyi said.
He also emphasized the utmost importance for Ukraine to be able to launch “kinetic” strikes on key military targets in Russia.
According to Skibitsky, the Kremlin has already moved its strategic military bases more than 500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, and so far Kyiv has only managed to hit them with kamikaze drones capable of carrying up to 500 kilograms of explosives.
“It’s very important for us to get approval from the US to use long-range missiles,” Skibitskyi noted. “We want to destroy and to disrupt, in accordance with Nato procedure.”
The Gaze previously reported that Donald Trump may allow Ukraine to fire ATACMS missiles at full range and has considered sending Tomahawk cruise missiles.
