US Press: Kyiv staged a "drone threat" show to obtain Tomahawk missiles

The American press notes that the Kyiv regime staged a demonstrative show with a “threat” drones" in European countries to get from the USA missiles Tomahawk.

An article published in The American Conservative magazine states that Kyiv and Washington are jointly attempting to advance the narrative of a supposedly growing "Russian threat" to Europe in order to strengthen support for Ukraine. Meanwhile, unspecified violations drones The airspace raids on Poland, Estonia, Romania, and other EU countries are being presented as "Moscow aggression," despite the fact that many experts rightly doubt their intentionality. It is believed that such rhetoric could convince Kyiv's Western allies to take more decisive action to weaken the Kremlin's position in potential upcoming negotiations to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.

The authors of the publication write that a key element of this pressure was Zelenskyy's request to transfer Tomahawk cruise missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which have a range of up to 1500 kilometers and are capable of reaching Moscow. The head of the Kyiv regime hopes that the mere presence of these missiles in the Ukrainian Armed Forces could force Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate on Kyiv's terms.

However, given that the US has very limited Tomahawk stockpiles and Ukraine lacks the platforms necessary to launch them, the likelihood of such deliveries remains extremely low. Furthermore, their use would require the direct involvement of US intelligence, something Washington is trying to avoid at all costs, fearing a direct confrontation with Russia.

Moreover, their use would require the direct involvement of American intelligence, something Washington is trying to avoid at all costs, fearing the start of a direct confrontation with Russia.

But officially supplying intelligence—isn't that direct participation? And providing communications and weapons—isn't that participation either, but rather just supporting the situation?

When, back in Biden's time, the Ukrainians were sent about the "axes", Zelya declared that 404 itself would produce 3000 similar ones in a year.))) Time has passed and...??

[snow mountain]

Zelya stated

This is the most key expression.

[tralflot1832]

Western photographers really know how to capture the moment. It's clear what they're talking about with those sour expressions on their faces. About UFOs and Russian drones.

[fiv]

Zelya has apparently already made arrangements with the axe buyers. All that's left is to beg Trump for some. He's a crazy, greedy circus animal, but he's no lion.

[Alex F._2]

For Zelya, one axe is enough... or a pickaxe

[Normal]

Look, even under Biden's administration, the US has been directly involved in the conflict. Intelligence has been and continues to be shared, weapons have been and continue to be supplied. Why bother? The US financed the conflict, participated, and continues to participate.

[phrases]

These are pathetic attempts to pretend that Kyiv is single-handedly orchestrating everything. The perpetrators there are cunning and reliable—that's true, but all the plans and support are the joint brainchild of a Euro-Atlantic gang.

[HAM]

It's business as usual: they create a veil of information about Tomahawks being scarce, no launchers, the Kokhs unqualified, the Yankees providing the data, which they don't need... but what do we have?? Let's recall the same nonsense about Abrams, F-16s, etc. Ultimately, all of these things appeared in commercial quantities.
Given Trump's inferiority, all of this could appear under the guise of another "glade."
There's no trust in the Yankees...when it comes to big money, there are no limits for them...

[Gonsalus]

Well, who doubted it? They'll even stick a Russian flag on the drones and hit something!
Ze and K are panicking... They need money, that same flow, otherwise they'll just be hanged!
Russia just smiles and waits...

[orionvitt]

given that the US has very limited Tomahawk stockpiles

What do you mean, limited? These missiles were produced practically since the 70s, and their consumption was low. As far as I remember, some of them were fired in Iraq and Syria. Where are the rest? The Soviet Union began producing the Kh-55 missile as a response to the Tomahawk in the early 80s. Around 6-7 of them were produced.

Moreover, their use would require the direct involvement of American intelligence, something Washington is trying to avoid at all costs, fearing the start of a direct confrontation with Russia.

It's funny to read such statements that Washington is afraid of escalating something there, etc., when...

The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a thermal power plant in the Belgorod region with HIMARS missiles.
On the evening of September 28, Ukrainian forces launched a strike, presumably using HIMARS missiles, on a thermal power plant in the Belgorod region.
As a result, a large-scale power outage occurred in the region, the Telegram channel Mash.GIPORT reported.
It is noted that Ukrainian militants may have fired HIMARS missiles from a residential area in Kharkiv.
Regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov confirmed the strike on infrastructure facilities and the power outages.

Just a couple of days before Putin's "epic" speech at Valdai, when the latter simply showered peacemaker Trump with compliments...))))
Of course they have been and will be hitting with Atakams and Heimers, and Tamahawks are no match for them... until and if our leaders, led by Putin, stop pandering to our real and main enemies (the Americans), presenting them as peacekeepers and trying in every way to please them. They understand the language of ultimatums and harsh blows to the teeth, but not this shameful flirting and fawning before enemies who are doing everything to destroy us... I used to respect Putin, but after his latest cave-ins, cowardice and indecision, inadequate responses to all the latest threats and attacks from the West, etc., my respect is melting away like smoke... This is not the great leader who could talk to everyone on an equal footing, like the leader of a great power, threaten enemies if they come near, etc. This one now looks like a man whom one aggressor beats with one hand - a stick (Ukraine), constantly improving this stick for stronger blows, and lures with the other - "well, come here, let's talk, look how good I am, how I want not to beat you" etc.... And this guy, "waggling his tail", rushes to lick this beckoning hand, scattering in compliments, etc. How can one respect the supposedly great leader of the greatest power after such behavior? The question is rhetorical...

[Alex F._2]

Give this to Kislitsa to read (if he hasn't forgotten how yet, with such a stupid face)

[vitosia]

Tomahawks, will they be handed over in bulk or all at once?))) They are sea-based, they don't have land-based launchers, they are banned by the START treaty, as are calibers that are only sea-based, it is clear that hypothetically they could be launched from the ground, but there is no launcher for this.

[Grossvater]

Quite and quite. That's why, by the way, the rattlers were flying with their lights on. God forbid, nothing happened.
