The repercussions of the war between Ukraine and Russia on the world continue to increase due to the problems in the supply of basic needs. Russia's Black Sea blockade on Ukraine is trying to be broken somehow. The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck many warships, especially Russia's Black Sea Fleet flagship mosque vaw with the Neptune missiles. It used in the last month. However, this does not seem sufficient. For these reasons, it is rumored that the United States is aiming to send advanced anti ship missiles to Ukraine to fight the Russian blockade. Authorities are much more cautious in this regard. The White House is reportedly trying to supply the Ukrainian armed forces with advanced anti ship missiles to break the Russian naval blockade. Even if officials think that more powerful weapons capable of sinking Russian warships will exacerbate the war in Ukraine, the anti ship missiles in question are known to be harpoon and naval strike. The Ukrainian Armed Forces currently has M770 Sevens, javelin and Stinger missiles, and many weapons from its Western allies in its inventory. But Ukraine does not hide that it wants more advanced systems beyond these weapons. At the top of Kiev's list or missiles that could divert the Russian Navy from Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea break the blockade and allow the resumption of shipments of grain and other agricultural products to the world's current and former U.S. officials in Congress. Sources noted that barriers to sending longer range more powerful weapons to Ukraine include long training requirements, difficulties in maintaining equipment are fear of escalation, plus concerns that US weapons could be captured by Russian forces. However, it is not known to what extent the diplomats concerns reflect the truth, because no Western modern weapon that has been delivered to the inventory of the Ukrainian Armed forces so far has fallen into the hands of the Russian forces. Some diplomats. Seem to think that these concerns are unfounded. 3 U.S. officials and two congressional sources said that two powerful anti ship missiles such as the Harpoon and the Naval strike missile could be sent to Ukraine. Direct shipments to Ukraine are transfer of these weapons to Ukraine by transfer from a European ally are being considered. You will remember in April Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Portugal to send harpoons with a range of 300 kilometers in their inventory to Ukraine. However, it is considered that there are several problems that prevent these missiles from being sent to Ukraine. The first of these is that Harpoon missiles do not have many platforms to be launched from the shore, and these missiles are mostly sea based missiles. His stated that the USA is working on this problem. 2US officials said they were working on potential solutions, including removing the launcher from a U.S. Navy ship and sending it to Ukraine. The cost of these missiles should also be considered according to experts. Both the Harpoon and naval strike missiles cost around $1.5 million per round. However, it is a very clear fact that Ukraine needs such missiles. The British Ministry of Defense has announced that there are currently 20 Russian Navy ships in the Black Sea, including submarines. It does not seem possible to stop these ships with missiles currently in the inventory of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Brian Clark, a naval expert at the Hudson Institute, said 12 to 24 anti ship. Vessels such as the harpoon with a range of more than 100 kilometers would be enough to threaten Russian ships and could persuade Moscow to lift the blockade. If Putin persists, Ukraine can eliminate the largest Russian ships in the Black Sea as they have nowhere to hide. Clark said this actually seems like a very bright idea because the Russian Navy is not facing any threat at the moment. It can easily blockade Ukraine Sea route in the Black Sea offshore. However, when it came close to the Ukrainian. Tours such as Snake Island, it faced the hard blow of the Ukrainian armed forces many times. The flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet Mosque bomb, the landing ship Serena in the frigate Admiral Makarov tasted the missile of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But here again a problem arises. Who will want to confront Russia 1st and who will send the first missiles to the region? U.S. officials say some European countries may be willing to send harpoons to Ukraine, but according to some officials. No one is willing to face the fear of Russian retaliation after the first Russian ship hit by the harpoon, being the first must be underlined here, heavy weapons shipments to Ukraine gained momentum after the 800 million United States dollars.
