Tomahawks, Tomahawks, Tomahawks<\/i><\/a>.<\/i>\u00a0That\u2019s the word buzzing in the ears of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as President Donald Trump weighs providing America\u2019s precision strike missile of choice to Ukraine.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since May, Trump has bombed the Houthis in Yemen, obliterated Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities and hit narco-terrorist drug boats in the Caribbean.\u00a0 Putin has to realize that Tomahawks could soon be in the skies over Russia.<\/p>\n

What can Ukraine hit with the 1000-mile range Tomahawks?\u00a0Start with the Shahed drone factory in Tatarstan, and at least 67 Russian airbases. Tomahawks in Ukraine\u2019s hands rip open Russian energy infrastructure to precision attack with no warning.<\/p>\n

ZELENSKYY PITCHES TRUMP ON UKRAINE DRONE-FOR-TOMAHAWK MISSILE EXCHANGE AS PRESIDENT WEIGHS ESCALATION CONCERNS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If Ukraine launches Tomahawks, they\u2019ll be flying as low as 100 feet, hugging the terrain, evading radar.\u00a0TLAMs can each take separate routes at 500 mph then meet up over the Russian target for a coordinated strike.<\/p>\n

Trump is baiting Putin.\u00a0“Hopefully, they won\u2019t need it,” Trump said of the Tomahawks at Friday\u2019s lunch with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House.\u00a0Trump said he\u2019d like to “get the war over without Tomahawks” but then went on to describe the missiles as “very dangerous” and “incredible.”<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the backstory on the Tomahawks, and why Trump is keeping them on the table to pressure Putin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

First tested in 1972, the Tomahawk Land Attack Cruise Missile or TLAM was actually developed by the U.S. Navy during the Cold War to attack targets on land in the Soviet Union.\u00a0In case you haven\u2019t seen one up close, the Tomahawk is 20 feet long but just 21 inches wide.\u00a0 It looks like a white pole with wiglets, but inside is a powerful turbo-fan engine and sophisticated guidance.\u00a0Today\u2019s Block IV Tomahawks can be retargeted in flight, and loiter over a target for hours, taking electro-optical scans and waiting for other missiles to arrive before detonating.\u00a0They carry a unitary warhead for harder targets, or dispense cluster munitions over a wide pattern to hit airfields, for example.\u00a0(Yes, there was once a nuclear TLAM variant with a 200 Kiloton warhead, but they were placed in storage in 1991 and eliminated in 2010.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

The presence of Tomahawks in Ukraine will set up an almost insoluble air defense problem for Putin.\u00a0No way can Russia place air defenses at every remote gas pipeline point or cover all the airbases where planes park out in the open.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

TLAMs could be in Ukraine in 24 hours.\u00a0The Army Mid-Range Capability missile system is a tractor-trailer missile launcher that can be driven onto a U.S. Air Force C-17 cargo plane.\u00a0The Army deployed TLAM launcher 8,000 miles away to North Luzon in the Philippines in under 15 hours<\/a> last year for a wargame.\u00a0Trump has plenty of time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deterring Putin.\u00a0The brutal escalation of mass attacks by Russia led Ukraine to ramp up its drone strikes<\/a> on Russian energy starting in August. According to a Reuters<\/a> study, Ukraine\u2019s drones have hit 18 pumping stations, plus 32 strikes on refineries. Ukraine\u2019s Liutyi drones have a range of about 600 miles and carry warheads of about 50 pounds.\u00a0Mixing in TLAMs would intensify pressure on Russian energy, Putin\u2019s single biggest source of government revenue.\u00a0Zelenskyy has called Ukraine\u2019s drone attacks on Russian energy “the sanctions that work the fastest.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. still has about 4,000 Tomahawks in its inventory, and new missiles like the U.S. Navy\u2019s SM-6 are already in action.\u00a0The U.S. Army deployed its new Dark Eagle long-range hypersonic weapons to Australia in August and will have its first full battery<\/a> by December.\u00a0By the way, last year Japan bought 400 Tomahawks for targeting China and North Korea.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomahawks have piled up an incredible combat record<\/a> since Jan. 17, 1991, when 122 TLAMs hit Iraqi oil and command and control targets at the start of Operation Desert Storm.\u00a0Eight-hundred TLAMs were fired in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.\u00a0Over the years, Tomahawks have hit targets in Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen and, of course, Iran.\u00a0On June 22, TLAMs hit above-ground “key surface infrastructure targets” in the nuclear complex at Isfhahan, according to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.\u00a0The TLAM strikes left the sprawling site visibly damaged and blackened.\u00a0“We gave it a capper with 30 TLAMS,” as Trump said Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Putin may yell and scream about Tomahawks for Ukraine.\u00a0Pay no attention.\u00a0He\u2019s grumbled about each weapon system, from F-16s to Patriots. And no, Putin does not dare escalate with nuclear weapons in Ukraine, because the wind patterns blow radiation clouds back into Russia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Trump said Friday: “Yeah, its escalation. But we\u2019re going to talk about it anyway.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
