New Tomahawk Launcher: US Defense Firm Unveils System Likely Headed for Ukraine
Oshkosh Defense unveiled the Extreme Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicle (X-MAV), a mobile ground-based launcher designed to carry Tomahawk cruise missiles. The X-MAV, showcased at the AUSA exhibition, could potentially address the logistical challenge of deploying Tomahawks in Ukraine, which are currently under consideration for delivery by the U.S. These long-range missiles, with a range up to 2,500 kilometers, could enable strikes on targets deep within Russia, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, significantly increasing pressure on the Kremlin. This potential deployment is a subject of discussion, as Ukraine currently lacks the ability to strike some key Russian targets.
