US playing with Russian nuclear fire by planning to sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine? Putin’s aide Medvedev warns ‘will end badly for Trump himself’

The US BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM), advancing at subsonic speed to a target deep in Russia, is what Ukraine has been considering in recent months. Tomahawks were built to carry both conventional and nuclear warheads. But the version of the missile currently in service with U.S. forces became conventional after the nuclear warhead used to arm the Tomahawks was retired more than a decade ago in 2013 and the U.S. Navy gave up its non-strategic nuclear weapons.

But reconverting the Tomahawk into a nuclear-tipped weapon shouldn’t be too difficult, as the United States has the technical know-how to do it. Although Ukraine is a non-nuclear power and its forces have no experience with Tomahawks, the possibility that the missile may be in the hands of its rival is causing some concern in Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that “the Tomahawks issue is extremely worrying.”

Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian prime minister and current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, claimed that the Tomahawks would be controlled and fired by the United States and that it was not possible to tell whether the missiles would carry nuclear-tipped or conventional warheads.
“If the ‘business pacifist’ is talking about Tomahawks, then that statement is false. The delivery of these missiles would not be good for anyone. First of all, it would end badly for Trump himself. This has already been said hundreds of times, in terms even a star-spangled Uncle Sam would understand: It is impossible to tell whether a Tomahawk is carrying a nuclear or conventional warhead in flight. Launching missiles Banderite does not originate from Kiev, it is controlled by the USA. In other words, by Trump. So how should Russia react? Absolutely. Let’s hope this is just another empty threat resulting from long conversations with the cocaine addicted clown. It’s kind of like sending nuclear submarines “near Russia.” You know how it is; “A submarine suddenly surfaces in the Ukrainian steppes,” he shared on his official Telegram channel. found.

Could Tomahawks help Ukraine beat Russia?

The Ukrainian army’s war plan to fire American Tomahawk missiles at Russian defense facilities hundreds of kilometers away from the front lines may come to the agenda when US President Donald Trump hosts Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on October 17, 2025. Trump has made it clear that Russia may supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Vladimir Putin does not end the now long-running war. three and a half years. The US President said on Air Force One on Sunday, October 12, en route to Israel for the Gaza peace agreement: “I would say, ‘Look: If this war is not going to end, I’m going to send them Tomahawks. The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon, a very offensive weapon. And to be honest, Russia doesn’t need it.” The exact number of long-range subsonic cruise missiles Ukraine will receive was finally Trump While the decision was not clear, numerous US media reports and defense analysts have claimed that the number could be between 20 and 50. They also note that such a small number of Tomahawk missiles would not deal a major blow to the Russian military force, which has been crushing Ukrainian forces in a bloody and wounding war since late February 2022.

Tomahawk missiles, which have a range of 1,550 miles (more than 2,500 kilometers), can also be used against targets hundreds of kilometers east of Moscow. The missile comes in several variants: anti-ship, submarine-launched, land-attack and surface-to-surface. The missile, which has been in service since 1983, is 6.1 meters long and weighs approximately 1,510 kg.

The cost of the export version of the Tomahawks is $4 million by 2023. Tomahawks are used in the US military as well as in the UK, Australia, Japan and the Netherlands.
