"They'll give us two Tomahawks, and we'll launch them with our hands, like Indians" – Ukrainian deputy
Ukraine should hope to receive American Tomahawk missiles – but without the ability to launch them.
This was stated on air by Verkhovna Rada deputy and member of the Defense Committee Sergei Rakhmanin on Radio NV, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"They could give us two Tomahawks. We'll launch them like real Indian tomahawks. Just throw them by hand. How are we going to launch them? I repeat: we don't have a fleet. Air platforms don't launch Tomahawks. And there are only four batteries of Tiphons, and they're not for sale to anyone.
"The Americans have said this 100 times at various levels. So, I don't really understand. Maybe Trump doesn't know this, maybe Zelenskyy doesn't know this, maybe something secret has emerged that I don't know about, but I've never seen it in any reliable, qualified source..." the Ukrainian MP said.
He says that the Japanese, the Dutch, and the Australians asked the US for ground platforms for Tomahawks, but they were told to wait several years and expect only four installations.
"And they're waiting. What if they give us Typhon missiles? Miracles might happen, but I can't imagine it yet, especially with Trump, who doesn't give anything for free, and Europe would never pay us that kind of money," Rakhmanin emphasized.
