US to provide Ukraine with intelligence for long-range strikes in Russia, WSJ reports, is a headline that’s making waves, and for good reason.

This is a significant development, as it escalates the conflict and potentially alters the dynamics of the war. It’s understandable why this announcement has ignited such a buzz.
This move seems to have been preceded by a shift in rhetoric from former President Donald Trump. He recently made a surprising statement on social media suggesting Ukraine could retake all its land occupied by Russia.… Continue reading
The core of the matter here boils down to this: Russia is raising the alarm, warning of potential escalation if the United States decides to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
Essentially, the sentiment expressed here feels like it’s heard it all before. The repeated refrain of “escalation” has become almost commonplace. It’s like the boy who cried wolf, except this time, the wolf is more of a perpetually growling bear that’s been losing a fight it started. Russia has a habit of issuing warnings and threats, and this one is just another entry in the ongoing catalog. They’ve issued similar warnings regarding other weapon systems, and yet, things have progressed.… Continue reading

Due to prohibitive costs and lengthy lead times associated with restarting production of the torpedo tube-launched Tomahawk, the Netherlands has abandoned plans to integrate this missile onto its submarine fleet. The decision, detailed in the Defensie Projectenoverzicht 2025 report, affects both the current Walrus-class and the future Orka-class submarines. The Dutch Ministry of Defence explored options for cost-sharing, but ultimately deemed the expense for their relatively small order unfeasible. The plan to equip surface ships with Tomahawks remains unaffected, and alternative deep-strike capabilities for the Orka-class are now under consideration.

I am thrilled to hear the news of the U.S. announcing $138 million in emergency military sales of Hawk missile systems support for Ukraine. As someone who was a HAWK Fire Control Operator, I understand the capabilities and importance of these systems. The Hawk missiles have had numerous upgrades over the years, including the Improved HAWK, which enhances target tracking and interception. With features like improved ECCM and a new warhead, the system is now even more capable against threats like short-range tactical ballistic missiles.
It is heartening to see Ukraine receiving much-needed support in the form of these mobile anti-air missile systems.… Continue reading
