00:00We have a lot of tomahawks. Tomahawks. Tomahawks. Tomahawks. They fly low, strike hard, and hit with near-perfect accuracy. For decades, the Tomahawk missile has been the weapon the United States turns to when it wants to make a point, from Iraq to Syria to the Red Sea.
00:15Unlike ballistic missiles that soar into space before falling on their targets, the Tomahawk takes a different path. It skims the Earth's surface, weaving through valleys and coastlines to slip beneath radar, quiet, calculated, and devastatingly precise.
00:28Each missile weighs more than a ton and costs around $1.3 million. Guided by GPS and onboard terrain mapping, it can adjust its route mid-flight, finding its target with surgical accuracy even from 1,000 miles away.
00:41For more than three decades, Tomahawks have been the backbone of U.S. precision warfare, taking out air defenses, command centers, and infrastructure without putting pilots at risk.
00:50Now the weapon is back in the spotlight. As Trump considers supplying Tomahawks to Ukraine, it could mark one of the most significant shifts in the war yet.
00:58Now Ukraine already operates Western-made long-range missiles, like the Storm Shadow and the Takums, but none match the Tomahawk's range or versatility.
01:05Launched from ships, submarines, or land, it can strike deep behind enemy lines, targeting military or energy sites far beyond the front.
01:13As Washington debates sending them, the question isn't just about range, it's about the message.
01:18Does this mark a turning point in the Trump administration's involvement in the war? We'll have to wait and see.
