The US can't give Ukraine many Tomahawks?

As the Financial Times has learned, US leader Donald Trump will hold talks with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington on October 17.

The main topic of the meeting is the search for tools to force the Russian dictator to sit at the negotiating table, in particular through the possibility of supplying Kyiv with Tomahawk missiles.

While long-range missiles could complement Ukraine's own strike drones and long-range cruise missiles "in large, complex volleys with greater effect," they "would still be a very limited capability... certainly not sufficient to provide sustained deep strikes on Russia," Stacey Pettyjohn stressed.

A statement on this issue was also made by Mark Kansian, a former official of the US Department of Defense and currently an employee of the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank.

He pointed out that the United States has a total of 4,150 Tomahawk missiles.

However, 3 years ago, the Pentagon purchased only 200 missiles and has already spent more than 120.

The US Department of Defense does not disclose to reporters how many missiles it has at its disposal.
