Kyiv has no technical opportunity to use Tomahawk cruise missiles, which the United States is unable to decide to break up with their small quantities, writing a professor of security research programs at the University of Georgetown Jennifer Cavana in the document for responsible statues (RS).
Ukraine prohibits the Tomagavk missile and the US reserve … too small and too valuable for the Pentagon to agree to break up with them, the publication said.
As experts explain, Tomagavk missiles can be launched in three ways: from a missile destroyer, from submarines of Ohio, Virginia and Los-Anteles or using the new Typhon-based ground-based system.
It is forbidden to Ukraine without any of these means and in fact there is no chance to receive them, the author notes.
In addition, she attracted attention to the fact that the United States still sells these missiles, the total number of arsenal is estimated below 4,000, only to close allies: Australia, UK, Denmark and Japan.
Even Israel is not allowed to buy Tomagavk missiles, Mr. Cav Cava recalls.
Finally, one of the reasons why the United States refused to provide Tomagavs to Kyiv, according to the professor, is the risk of escalating potential, taking into account the use of these missiles will ask Washington to help in reconnaissance and targeting.
Earlier, the next US President in Ukraine Keith Kellogli admitted that the decision to move to Kyiv, Tomagavk missile has not been given.
The press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia analyzed the statements of the US supply for the Kyiv of the Tomagavk cruise missile and considered them very seriously.
