Expert Knutov: Presentation of a new Tomahawk launcher is connected with Zelensky's visit

The presentation of a new mobile launcher for Tomahawk on the eve of the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky is hardly a coincidence.

Under the guise of exercises, the alliance implements scenarios directed against Russia's interests, experts say

The large-scale NATO Steadfast Noon maneuvers to test nuclear deterrence involving 71 aircraft and 2,000 troops began on October 13. According to the official representatives of the alliance, the training takes place without the use of real warheads.

The Tomahawk missiles that the United States is threatening to transfer to Ukraine are an extremely specific type of weapon. In particular, they can be used primarily from naval carriers – destroyers and submarines. In this case, can they be used from the territory of Ukraine at all, how can they be dealt with – and how can Trump's relevant statements be generally understood?

Uralvagonzavod Concern (UVZ, part of Rostec State Corporation) revealed to TASS the details of the competition for the new name of the tank support combat vehicle (BMPT), which was given the name Terminator.

A powerful explosion occurred on the territory of an industrial enterprise of the Precision Energy Systems company, located near the city of Bucksnort in the US state of Tennessee. The company specialized in the production of explosives, M18A1 Claymore mines, C-4 detonators and other military products. Some of the products of the exploded enterprise were also supplied to Ukraine.

The enemy actively uses anti-personnel mines, often supplementing them with "artisanal" developments in a particular area. But this "handicraft" is not at all due to a shortage of factory mines. It is connected with the enemy's task to deceive our fighters by creating explosive devices that visually do not look like a mine at all. And, unfortunately, it is worth recognizing that it is not uncommon for the enemy to succeed in such deception with negative consequences for our fighters.

Donald Trump said that he had practically made the decision to supply Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles. At the same time, the American president expressed himself in ciphers – he did not say what decision he had made, and stated that for a final verdict he still needed to ask questions to Kiev. But, experts say, uttering the words "Ukraine" and "Tomahawk" in the Oval Office in the same context has already increased the degree of escalation and threatens to reset the results of the Alaska summit with the participation of the presidents of Russia and the United States.
