According to the report, Russia’s air defense systems have already faced US-made Tomahawk cruise missiles—and failed to intercept them effectively, according to Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council.The head of the center, Andrii Kovalenko, made the statement in a post on his official Telegram channel, following US President Donald Trump’s recent announcement that NATO would provide Tomahawk missiles to support Ukraine’s defense.Kovalenko recalled that Russian and Syrian forces previously encountered Tomahawks during US strikes on military facilities in Syria in 2017 and 2018. He noted that Russian and Syrian reports at the time claimed “massive interceptions” of the missiles, but independent analyses found that most of the launched weapons reached their intended targets.According to Kovalenko, the Tomahawk’s effectiveness stems from its low flight altitude and complex navigation system, which makes detection and interception extremely difficult.Successful defense against such missiles requires a dense network of low-altitude radar systems, rapid data transmission, and highly coordinated air defense responses—conditions Russia and Syria failed to achieve.
How could Russia defeat the USA? They might only have a wishful thinking.
