A senior Western official has confirmed that U.S. contractors will operate and maintain Tomahawk cruise missiles if they are supplied to Ukraine. This information was reported by the Financial Times. Ukrainian troops will not receive training for the operation of these missiles due to sensitive U.S. technology controls.
Initial shipments of the Tomahawk missiles may be limited to between 20 and 50 units, amid concerns regarding escalation in the region. The decision to utilize U.S. contractors for this operation underscores the complexities of military support in the ongoing conflict.
