Tomahawk missiles, which can equip the US anti-missile defense system in Poland, are capable of delivering strikes not only on missiles, but also on launchers in the territory of the enemy; They can be released not only from the ground, but also from submarines and ships.

This "Observer" was told by the ex-Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Igor Romanenko.

He explained that to date the US missile defense system in Poland is equipped mainly with "systems that destroy missiles in the air". "But the rockets do not have to be destroyed in the air. If fighting is already underway, if the location of the launchers is known, then it is possible to strike immediately at them, on the territory of the enemy ". In this case, the "same Tomahawks".

"Tomahawks are rockets of earth-earth class, ship-earth and so on. They can be launched from submarines, from ships and other things, "added Romanenko. He also recalled that it was with the help of Tomahawk missiles launched from the US destroyer that a strike was struck at the airbase in Syria.

"For example, there are Russian" Iskander "in the Kaliningrad region. If they are launched, they can be destroyed in the air. To do this, they need to be monitored and reacted instantly. But if you know the location of launchers, you can not expect the launch of missiles from other points, but to strike them exactly - on the ground, where they are, "- he cited the example of the general.

"If the Russians are to aggravate the situation, perhaps the US will place them. The situation depends on the behavior of Russia. As we see, while Trump is not going to give a descent to anyone - neither to Koreans, nor to Russians, nor to anyone, "Romanenko remarked..

The "observer" asked what could be Russia's response measures, which were warned in the General Staff of the Russian Federation.

"Under the reciprocal measures, everyone means the same thing: if one side launches something, then, justifying its behavior, the other side will also strike," the general explained..

As the "Observer" wrote, the chief of the General Staff of Russia, Valery Gerasimov, said that all the strategic facilities of the European part of Russia would be in danger if the US missile defense system in Poland was equipped with Tomahawk missiles.
