The ground-launched Tomahawk missile test that the US military carried out earlier this week is a new threat to Russia, one that will be addressed, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said at a conference in Helsinki. The missiles can be launched from system already located in Romania and set to be constructed in Poland. Al lit takes for the US to launch their missiles from Romania and Poland is software change, Putin stated and added that, “I’m not convinced that our American friends will inform our European partners what software is installed in their systems.” On Monday, the Pentagon reported a conventionally-configured cruise missile launch that hit its target upon travelling 500 kilometers.
