The USA may send Ukraine dozens of Tomahawk missiles, but this is not enough to turn the tide of the war.

According to information from the Financial Times, the United States is considering the possibility of transferring Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. However, the volume of this assistance will range from 20 to 50 missiles, which will not change the situation on the front.

Need for Support

According to CNAS defense program director Stacie Pettyjohn, even if these missiles are transferred, this quantity is clearly insufficient for significant changes in military strategy. “Donating” from 20 to 50 missiles cannot really be considered sufficient support that could turn the tide of the conflict.

Missile Stockpiles

Former Pentagon employee Mark Cancian, representing the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), points out that the total stockpile of Tomahawk missiles in the US is estimated at about 4,150 units. Most of them are in service with the country’s Navy.

Limited Capabilities

The current situation casts doubt on the truly significant assistance that American authorities can provide. Despite having fairly large stockpiles, the transfer of dozens of missiles will not lead to radical changes in the conflict that continues in Eastern Europe.

Thus, the issue of military support for Ukraine remains complex and requires detailed analysis of capabilities and consequences. Possible assistance in the form of Tomahawk missiles is undoubtedly important, but its volumes may not meet the current requirements of the fight on the front.
