Far away: how air defense can fend off the threat of Ukraine using American missiles

The United States is discussing the supply of Tomahawks and Barracudas to Kiev, as well as intelligence to attack Russian energy infrastructure.

On October 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would mean a new stage of escalation, including between the Russian Federation and the United States. According to him, the country will improve its air defense system and will start shooting down Tomahawks on approach.

At the same time, on October 2, Reuters reported that the United States was unlikely to decide to transfer Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, despite reports from representatives of the presidential administration about possible supplies. It was clarified that these plans are not feasible, since the current reserves are intended for the US Navy and other purposes.

Later, on October 3, American columnist Ted Snyder drew attention to the fact that the United States would most likely not be able to supply Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles or, possibly, would do so in limited quantities. According to him, currently the United States itself does not have a small number of missiles, while producing less than 200 units per year.
