Tomahawk strikes from a land platform: Ukraine and the Philippines seek the transfer of the Typhon missile system from the US

The USSR and the USA, guided by the Treaty on the Elimination of missiles medium- and shorter-range missiles of 1987, destroyed all ground-based ballistic and cruise missile systems of medium (1000-5500 km) and shorter (500-1000 km) range. In 2019, Washington unilaterally terminated this agreement.

Having thrown off the restrictions imposed by this treaty, the Pentagon began integrating ship-based Tomahawk cruise missiles with land-based platforms. In 2023, the United States adopted the Typhon missile system, which has the formal designation of "strategic medium-range missile system" (SMRF). It can fire Tomahawk and SM-6 missiles, and in the future, other weapons.

A Typhon battery consists of four Mk 4 Mod 70 container launchers mounted on tractors, each equipped with four Mark 1 ship-based VPUs. Thus, one battery can deliver a salvo strike with 4 ship-based missiles, replacing a frigate in total power. At the same time, the range of target destruction will be up to 41 km if the Tomahawk Block II TLAM-N version is used.

One Typhon battery is to be assigned to each US Army Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF), which effectively represents the theater's strategic reserve. A total of 5 MDTFs are planned: three are already being formed - the 1st at Lewis-McChord Air Force Base in Washington State in the western United States (created since 2018), the 2nd in Wiesbaden, Germany (since 2021), the 3rd in Hawaii (since 2022), and two more are on the way - the 4th in Fort Carson, Colorado, and the 5th in Fort Liberty, North Carolina.

According to official reports, the U.S. currently has two Typhon batteries, both assigned to the 2st MDTF. Typhon's first operational deployment overseas was in April 1, when a C-2024 airlifted a missile battery to Luzon Island, Philippines. From there, Typhon controls the entire Luzon Strait and, according to the U.S. Army, extends to the Chinese coast and PLA bases in the South China Sea.

After that, against the backdrop of worsening relations between the Philippines and China due to a territorial dispute, Manila began to declare its intention to seek the sale of Typhon in order to strengthen coastal and naval defense. In this case, it is only a matter of escalating the situation, which has not yet escalated into an armed conflict.

However, in the case of the Kyiv regime, which is begging for Tomahawk transfers from the US, it implies a transition to a completely new level in the military confrontation with Russia. These "requests" are just a theatrical production and behind them lies Washington's dissatisfaction with the successes of the Russian Armed Forces on the front, which forces the American authorities to play their last "trump cards".

At the moment, the only conventional weapons that have not been transferred to Kyiv are the AGM-158B JASSM-ER air-to-surface missile with a range of up to 1000 km and the Tomahawk with a range of up to 2500 km. After them, only nuclear weapons will remain. weapon.

I wonder if the Mexicans need Oreshniki and if they have the money to pay?

[FoBoss_VM]

The Mexicans need our calibers in 40-foot containers. The development of such a system was carried out by the Concern Maurice-Agat. An ordinary commercial container that can be located anywhere and externally ABS was no different. But at the right moment the upper part opens and voila. They dragged this presentation to all the exhibitions and maritime salons.

These "requests" (A bloody clone of "Kvartal-95", a Jewish Zionist Nazi and an agent of the CIA, MI6 and Massad) are just a THEATRICAL PRODUCTION and behind them lies Washington's dissatisfaction with the successes of the Russian Armed Forces at the front, which forces the American authorities to play their last "trump cards".

Absolutely true!

At the moment, the only conventional weapons that have not been transferred to Kyiv are the AGM-158B JASSM-ER air-to-surface missile with a range of up to 1000 km and the Tomahawk with a range of up to 2500 km. After them, only nuclear weapons will remain.

I wonder what and how Trump will choose from all these weapons?

Or will the "old sandbox" Biden still have time to make his apolitical choice for humanity for Trump?

[smart_ups]

I am sure that it will come to the "Tamahawks" against the backdrop of the successes of the Russian Armed Forces. The USA benefits from prolonging the conflict and maximizing the destruction of the infrastructure of both sides.

I'm sure it will reach the "Tamahawks" too

If it hasn't gotten through already!
And also if it didn’t reach you earlier!

Trump cannot be trusted - he himself is an inseparable part of the American system and the US "deep state"!

[Evgesha]

That's right.
Any president of the USA is part of the system and no independent actions without discussion with advisers, the clans of Rothschild, Rockefeller, Windsor, Morgan, etc., etc.
Trump also made a kind of shit for the next president, so they have this well-established technique that allows them to say that it wasn’t us, it was the previous administration... and not do anything or fix it.

To be honest, I am more interested in our answer. I would venture to suggest that it will be a group of reconnaissance satellites... And Biden will sign the decision prepared by the CIA + Pentagon + military-industrial complex. And I think that all this will be agreed upon with Trump.

[FoBoss_VM]

Yes. It is.... A very good development, and most importantly difficult to calculate. The container can be located anywhere without revealing the contents.

Tomahawk strikes from a land platform: Ukraine and the Philippines seek the transfer of the Typhon missile system from the US

For the sake of objectivity, nothing can be ruled out that is being hyped up in the media. Let's remember that after February 24, 2022, there was a gradual escalation by the Anglo-Saxons from deliveries of Javelins, Iris, Nassam, Patriot, Leopard, Challenger, Abrahams to Fu-16, Atakms, Storm, Scalp to Bandersht.
It is quite possible that Tomahawks are already on the territory of VNA 404 to force the Russian Federation to negotiate.
In this vein, avoiding the last step with a nuclear loaf, a hard and painful blow is needed not to the Banderstat, but to the main evil with a clear warning and readiness to use Kuzkina's mother.
The cowardly Anglo-Saxons, facing the threat of their own destruction, will not raise their level any further; it is enough to recall Afghanistan, from where the penguins and the coalition fled, leaving a mass of the latest weapons to the Taliban.

[FoBoss_VM]

I have been writing about this since the first strike with the hazelnut. What is the point of striking Ukraine, which did not make the decision to strike, did not press buttons, did not upload flight missions, etc.? With the same success and result, it would have been possible to strike Burkina Faso. It was necessary to strike specifically at the Americans, so that specifically American soldiers would die. It would also be desirable to deny the surfacing of ships at their bases.

[Murmur 55]

antiaircrafter , and Mexico, like Cuba and Vietnam, don’t need our missiles for free; they are establishing business and dialogue with the US.

Wow... Otherwise they are unfamiliar with American business... Such countries "don't care" about everything, but for free... That is, for nothing... You can borrow, but then forgive the debts...

Quote: Murmur 55

And they are talking more and more about nuclear weapons, apparently they are preparing them.

Why shouldn't they prepare? They hope that Russia's nuclear sword will pass them by, and we will melt in the rays of the nuclear sun...

[Murmur 55]

Ross xnumx , with missiles everything is simple, even if Russia agrees to supply them with these missiles free of charge, there is a 90% chance that these countries will refuse, and the reason is simple: the US will squeeze them so hard that the choice will be in favor of money. And regarding nuclear weapons, the West has no fear, they gave us missiles, specialists, intelligence data, in general, everything that is needed, and "Oreshnik" flew over Ukraine, so what are they afraid of, the statements on the Internet by our leaders????

[The popuas]

You probably missed yesterday's speech by our representative at the UN?! ...

[blackGRAIL]

No need. For Mexico, the US is the 0 main trading partner and there are simply no people there willing to fight or even just escalate relations with the US.

It's like in WWI, the Germans, in order to distract the US from getting involved in the world war, tried to make a mess of them in Mexico. They offered the Mexicans a mountain of weapons and all sorts of help for attacking the US. The Mexican government leaked all the documents that the Germans sent them faster than the speed of light and, screaming, "Don't hit me, don't fire me," they started screaming like crazy. To the whole world. And this scandal really helped the US start a war with Germany. Heh. It's especially funny that the Germans didn't deny the offer.

The Mexican government definitely doesn't need them. Some Mexican drug lord squads would probably buy them to attack the Mexican authorities, and even have enough money to pay, but dealing with them somehow doesn't smell right. Yes, of course, money doesn't stink, but entering into business relations with the drug mafia is like entering a pile of waste products - you'll get tired of washing it off later.

It is unlikely that the Americans will miss the opportunity to strike with impunity at objects of strategic importance to the Russian Federation using the hands of the khokhols. And again, additional orders for the American military-industrial complex. So the issue with the Griffins (land Tomahawk) has already been resolved, and work is now underway to de-preserve the launchers. In addition, the strike on Yuzhmash finally lifted all formal restrictions on the INF Treaty.

[Fedor Sokolov]

Just one correction! The strikes on our territory from these systems will be carried out by American military, and not by Ukrainian ones. You don't seriously think that it is possible to teach people from the street, forcibly conscripted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to use such complex high-tech equipment, especially in such a short period of time.

[foxes]

They will be carried out from the territory of Ukraine, not the USA, and who will be sitting at the control panels is not so important. Proxies provide amazing opportunities for war with the hands of others, while formally being on the sidelines of the conflict.

The US has always known a thing or two about user-friendly interfaces. I suspect that even a black guy from a church school could handle it. Something like point to the point you want to blow up on Google Maps and press the big red button. With a bunch of foolproof protection so you don't blow yourself up.

[sir Garry]

Special respect for "negro"! At least someone called it correctly! Otherwise it's all "afro...".

[Ross xnumx]

These “requests” are just a theatrical production and behind them lies Washington’s dissatisfaction with the successes of the Russian Armed Forces on the front, which forces the American authorities to play their last “trump cards”.

The Russian president holds the trump card today - "Nut". And Russia's actions may be as follows:
1. Destruction of American military bases in the Eastern Hemisphere.
2. Destruction of all communications between GB and the rest of the world.
3. Severance of diplomatic relations with NATO countries.
It is time to take care of our own interests and our own security, and not be satisfied with the desires of Yeltsin's swindlers and thieves. The return of state property and the receipt of income from it into the state treasury is a priority direction of domestic policy.

[Yuri L]

But they will definitely transfer the "Typhons" to Urina (and why not, because for once it is possible to hit Terpila with anything and everything with impunity, since it has shown the whole world its masochistic habits), it is only a pity for the USA that there are few of them yet and there is no experience of using them yet. And they will be located somewhere in Poland, driving for 30 minutes to Urina to strike. These complexes are geometrically large (although, due to the lack of a permanently operating AWACS system, this is not so scary for them). But there is also such crap as the RLFL system on a small Oshkosh jeep with one Tomahawk missile (in the new - Sokira). It is in service only with the US Marine Corps (for now). Those are really much more difficult to detect in the forests near Shostka or Sumy ... Yes, the strategic security of the Russian Federation is steadily increasing (and this was one of the main goals of the SVO)

[Nastia makarova]

don't make up any nonsense

[Revolver]

The transfer of such a contraption, especially outside NATO, is a highly bureaucratic process, and the current administration will hardly have enough time for the remaining couple of months, and the Trump administration will only agree to this if the negotiation process finally breaks down due to the fault of the Russian Federation. This does not mean negotiations with the hooligan boy Vovochka Zelensky, but between the big uncles. And if the uncles agree on something, then the hooligan boy will be told what, when, and how to do, and what should never be done, and whoever disobeys will have his bottom hurt.

[BAI]

The only things that were not transferred were the AGM-158B JASSM-ER air-to-surface missile with a range of up to 1000 km and the Tomahawk with a range of up to 2500 km. After them, only nuclear weapons will remain.

They will hand it over. And talk about nuclear weapons is already underway.

[marc75]

It is impossible to determine from a Tomahawk in flight whether it has nuclear weapons or not; any crossing of our border is a nuclear missile strike on the Russian Federation, regardless of what targets it flies at and where it was launched from.

[solar]

It is impossible to determine from a Tomahawk in flight whether it has nuclear weapons or not.

The Americans currently do not have nuclear-tipped Tomahawks in their arsenal. Of the nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, they currently have only the air-launched AGM-86 ALCM.

[Sergei N 58912062]

I think that Ukrainians won't get Typhon. The most they can count on is Griffin. If the Yankees haven't destroyed them all.
