Let Ukraine throw Tomahawks at Russia

The Trump administration is said to be considering Ukraine‘s request for Tomahawk cruise missiles, weapons that would dramatically expand its ability to strike deep inside Russia. This comes as part of Washington’s growing frustration with Russia’s refusal to take peace talks seriously.

Tomahawks are among the most iconic U.S. precision weapons. First used in combat during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, they’ve more recently been employed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya. Depending on the variant, their range extends from about 1,000 to 1,550 miles. That’s enough to put even Moscow within reach.
