You would think. We will see what happens.what will happen after tomahawk missiles start landing well inside Russian territory, will Russia not thinking of supplying something better to countries around USA
If the US wants to play this game Russia has way more capacity to manufacture cruise missiles than they do.
Ukraine already has access to early modifications of AMRAAM and the latest AIM-9X.USA is now trying to arm Ukrainian with something better but then again why not to arm them with long range Amraam missiles with some better version of F16 or may be some used FA18 super hornets so Ukrainian can to some extent stop the Russian airforce or keep them far away from their territory
There aren't that many AIM-120D AMRAAMs in stock to begin with.
There aren't that many Super Hornets in stock either. Plus the US is not going to put one of their premier fighter platforms in a place where it can be reverse engineered and exploited.
Even the Super Hornet is not any better than a Su-35. Especially if it comes with the R-77M and R-37M.
It would be way more likely if the West sends F-16Vs into Ukraine I think. But they won't let them operate anywhere near the frontlines.
The Russians already stated their demands a long time ago. If Trump thinks they will cave in to his idea of freezing the lines where they currently are and make Ukraine a defacto NATO member in all but name he is sorely mistaken.can be just a threat to Russians from Donald Trump administration to come to the table for negotiations
