What will it be, a "stunning answer"? Expert opinion

If Russia is hit by Tomahawk cruise missiles, the response will be tough — with the use of more powerful weapons. Which one? About this Pravda.Ru was told by military expert Vasily Dandykin.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian Federation would give a serious, "if not staggering," response if its territory was hit by long-range Tomahawk missiles.

Dandykin stressed that Russia's response will depend on the scale and nature of a possible attack, but it will undoubtedly be tough and thoughtful. According to him, the country has a wide range of means to inflict tangible damage on the enemy and demonstrate technological superiority.

"If cruise missiles really strike Russia, there will be an increase in missile attacks that are already taking place. In addition, it is likely that the Oreshnik complex will be used, which has already been put into service and has passed combat tests, but can be used with more power. In addition, new types of weapons that have not yet been used during the conflict may be involved," Dandykin said.

The expert added that such systems may include modern developments that have been tested at landfills, but have not yet been used in real combat conditions. According to him, Russia's response may include strikes on the control and logistics facilities of the armed forces of Ukraine, as well as on the centers that support the activities of Kiev. Dandykin stressed that the range of possibilities for increasing pressure on the enemy today is extremely wide.
