Ukraine promises "Tomagavki": whether goals in the Russian Federation and what are the opportunities of rocket (infographics)

In the fall of 2024, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to the United States and gave the White House a list of desired goals in the Russian Federation, explained on the air of the NV Military Analyst, Veteran, Reserve Major Alexei Hetman. It is about 200 objects, the destruction of which will reduce the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The focus gathered information about the appearance of Tomahawkiv and the possibility of this means of damage.

Hetman answered the question of a journalist who was interested in whether Trump would provide Tomahawk missiles after learning the issue of possible strikes of Ukraine. The expert specified that Ukraine has already shown what goals chooses during long -range strikes with its own missiles - "Neptune" and "Flamingo". The goals of defense forces - not civilian objects, unlike the strokes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, came on air.

It is about objects that are "critical to us in terms of support, or management, or supply to the front line. " In addition, Trump should know so where the Ukrainians will beat - a list of 200 points in advance to Washington, he said. "Almost a year ago, our delegation to the United States and brought a list of 200 objects that we have to destroy in order to weaken the possibility of the Russians at least on the front line. Therefore, this is a statement, well, more populist.

He knows where and we are going to destroy," the hetman said. The expert also noted that Tomahawk is a rocket that appeared in the 70-80s of the last century and is somewhat similar to the Ukrainian winged "Neptune": it flies just as low. In his opinion, this means of defeat, though old, but modernized, and the low height of flight is one of its main advantages, explained the NV interlocutor.

"Tomahawk" is a winged rudder of the US missile, the first version of which appeared in 1970, and it has been adopted by the US army since 1983. The manufacturer (now time) is Raytheon.

For almost 50 years, the means of defeat has been modernized - several types of warheads (fugas, cumulative, nuclear), different types of missiles (with different capabilities and under different warheads) have appeared, the guidance system (there are four main systems and additional for anti -ship missiles) improved.

The main tactical and technical characteristics of the Tomahawk missile-on the focus infographic: Land Start-from the mobile installation of the SMRF Typhon on the Defense News portal in the spring of 2025 in the spring of 2025 that the United States has two Typhon batteries. In this case, both are already used: the first-a grouping in the Philippines in the Indo-Pacific region, the second-a command in Hawaii in the Pacific. One battery is four starting installations (indicative dimensions - 7.

6 m long, 2. 4 m wide, 3 m height)? Command, auxiliary equipment. In September 2025, the Defense Express portal said that the US Army probably has unnecessary launchers for Tomahawki (4-8 of the planned 56). Analysts have found that the US infantry wropses LRF (Long Range Fires) because of the poor patency on the sand. At the same time, it is noted that the cars in any case will need the Pentagon, but emphasized that "tomahawki" can be adjusted "to any other wheel chassis".

The naval base about the possibility of starting "tomagavkov" from surface and submarine ships was told on the portal of the analytical center of CSIS. It is indicated that rockets can be launched from Ticonderoga cruisers and Arleigh Burke's destroyers, shock submarines (SSN) and four submarines with Ohio (SSGN) winged rockets. Analysts of the Institute of War Study in the report for October 5 told what purpose the Tomahawk can reach in the territory of the Russian Federation.

According to ISW estimates, 1,665 targets fall into the area of ​​1 600 km, 1,945 targets into the lesion area. In the latter case, the missiles will be reached by military enterprises, aerodromes and refineries in the Ural Mountains, the institute map is evidenced. It should be noted that in the spring of 2025, Pentagon Ruben Johnson's military consultant wrote that the US deficiency in the Tomahawk missiles.
