Supply Tomahawk Ukraine only possible by 2026: what can change rockets (video)
On the air of the Telelorphone, the officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and political scientist Andriy Tkachuk said that even in the case of a positive Washington decision on "tomahawki", it is not necessary to expect fast deliveries - the process of preparing and transferring such weapons takes many months. "If we get these" tomatoviki ", then, like the F-16 aircraft, not immediately. F-16 was agreed to pass in August 2023, and we received them in July 2024, that is, 11 months have passed.
A similar situation can be with" tomahavki ": if even, it is not a system of being a system. It will not be before 2026, even if by the end of this year we will agree to us, "the officer said. In addition, Tkachuk warned the illusions: even if the US is transmitted to Ukraine by these winged missiles, their use requires systematic preparation and coordination with the US side.
And one of their delivery in a limited number will not replace a set of measures necessary to suppress Russia's military capabilities. According to him, it is impossible to destroy the enemy's military power exclusively by "tomahawki". At the same time, this weapon is important as an element of information and psychological struggle and pressure to force Vladimir Putin to sit at the negotiating table. And if Russia continues to carry out hostilities, then Donald Trump promised to give Tomahawki.
"Trump has to fulfill his word. If he does not fulfill his promises, he will look rather weak, and it will hit the US position. Trump will drive himself into a corner where he is forced to make a decision. Recall that Trump's statements about providing Ukraine tomahawk rockets have caused an acute reaction in Moscow. Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that such decisions can "end badly for all", including Trump himself.
