"Highly dangerous": What other missiles could Ukraine get?"
The U.S. may provide the "Barracuda" missile to Ukraine, which is capable of striking Moscow.
The Telegram channel "Military Chronicle" («Военная хроника») published a diagram showing the missile range and concluded that the low-cost modular cruise missile "Barracuda", which the U.S. is considering providing to Ukraine, can strike cities such as Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Yaroslavl, Moscow, and Saratov in Russia.
The channel pointed out that the Russian strategic aviation base in Engels, Saratov Oblast, is also within the range of the "Barracuda" missile.
Additionally, the channel emphasized that although the "Barracuda" missile can damage warehouses, communication nodes, or energy facilities, it cannot destroy large targets. The effectiveness of this type of missile directly depends on the frequency and number of launches.
The channel admitted that even if Kyiv receives this American missile, it cannot be called a "super weapon".
However, unlike other missiles, the "Barracuda" missile does not require a dedicated site or a separate launch platform. Even with the most simplified configuration, it poses a high level of danger.
