Part 2/19:
The Tomahawk missile is a well-established naval weapon, employed by the U.S. military for decades across conflicts in the Persian Gulf, Libya, and elsewhere. Its most critical feature, in this context, is its impressive range—about 1,500 miles—allowing it to strike targets across Russia, including Moscow, if launched from within Ukraine. This capability represents a significant escalation, as it would enable Ukraine to target high-value Russian infrastructure and military assets far beyond current restrictions.
