The United States can supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, as well as multiple launch rocket systems High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) or operational tactical missile systems Army TACtical Missile System (ATACMS), admitted in an interview with News.ru the editor of the publication "Arsenal of the Fatherland" Alexey Leonkov.
"If they do, then you still need to be able to control these weapons. It's not just pressing a button — and the weapon did it for you. In addition, as the experience of the special operation shows, all weapons that cross the border of Ukraine are destroyed. So if the United States wants their weapons to be destroyed, then this is their right," the Russian expert said.
In his opinion, in the case of such deliveries, airfields in the Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod and Rostov regions will be at risk. Nevertheless, the expert assessed the press reports on the prospects of supplying Ukraine with American weapons that allow hitting Russian airfields as "news from the field of shapkozakidatelstvo."
"I think this is news from the field of shapkozakidatelstvo. Just like they talked about Abrams planes and tanks. So far, 100 T-72 tanks have been delivered from Poland and the Czech Republic, but they will be destroyed along the way, if not already destroyed," Leonkov summed up.
In March, US President John Biden said that the Russian hypersonic missile "Dagger" is almost impossible to intercept.
