The transfer of tactical cruise missiles to Ukraine also means that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has begun to escalate into a large-scale war, and at present the U.S. Command in Europe and NATO are preparing for the possible outbreak of a comprehensive war, at least from the current perspective this trend has been increasing, continuously approaching the critical point.

Recently, retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former commander of the U.S. Army's European Command, said that a large-scale war may still break out. If a full-scale war breaks out between NATO and the Russian army, NATO will focus on attacking two targets first, Kaliningrad and Sevastopol, these two key targets will be attacked first.

At the same time, Lieutenant-General Hodges also mentioned that the first wave of confrontation may only be a few hours, which indicates that the two sides have used large-scale cruise missile intensive strikes, which is a high-tech war, even the time of the air force entry is in line behind, after all, the reaction of ballistic missiles and anti-missile systems is the fastest, almost reaching in seconds.
Air Force fighters need to refuel, load bombs, take off, then enter cruise, launch missiles, and then hit the target. The whole process is obviously slower than ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.

Lieutenant General Hodges's remarks have aroused concerns about the spillover of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. At present, the conflict is on the verge of escalating. For example, Trump has clearly stated that it will provide Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles. This offensive weapon can strike targets thousands of kilometers away. At the same time, the U.S. military industry is developing a launch vehicle equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles, which is currently in the development and testing stage. Since these vehicles do not have any technical barriers, they can only transplant the launcher to a truck, so they will be put into service soon.

The transfer of tactical cruise missiles to Ukraine also means that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has begun to escalate into a large-scale war, and at present the U.S. Command in Europe and NATO are preparing for the possible outbreak of a comprehensive war, at least from the current perspective this trend has been increasing, continuously approaching the critical point.
This week, NATO also organized annual nuclear weapons exercises, starting on October 13, demonstrating that the shadow of nuclear war continues to loom over Eastern Europe and indeed across Europe. Once a strategic misjudgment occurs, or Ukraine uses Tomahawk cruise missiles to strike certain strategic targets without authorization, the war may be pushed into a large-scale conflict.
