Putin assesses US Tomahawk missiles effectiveness in Syria and Iraq

By Editor On Dec 18, 2018

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced at meeting of the Defense Ministry leadership that the US “Tomahawk” missiles are 30% effective in Syria and Iraq.

“Tomahawk missiles have become obsolete – this is a fact between their use in Iraq and Syria according to our military experts, and according to your data, they are 30% effective, and of course they need to be updated, while American air missiles are slightly better,” Putin said at the meeting.

The operations of the US-led coalition in Syria and Iraq continue against the “Da’ash” organization since 2014. In Syria, operations are carried out without the approval of the country’s official authorities.

Worth-mention that the US ships stationed in the Mediterranean launched 59 such rockets at the Syrian Al-Shu’arat airbase on 6 April last year.

The Tomahawk missile is one of the most widely common missiles used by the US military in recent wars, especially in the Middle East.
