The United States is 25 years ahead of other countries in the field of submarines.

This was stated by US President Donald Trump, according to the President’s address to members of the US Navy.

"There's nothing in the world like it. Nothing. Not even close," US President Donald Trump told servicemembers during his address.

He also announced the launch of production of a new Virginia-class submarine in December this year and revealed plans to expand the construction of American naval vessels.

"We're going to have more great ships being built than we've ever had being built in the history of the Navy," Trump said.

Long-range missiles for Ukraine

In recent days, media reports have suggested that Donald Trump may lift the restriction preventing Ukraine from using long-range weapons to strike targets inside Russia.

The US administration is also considering the possibility of transferring Tomahawk long-range missiles to Kyiv.

However, experts remain skeptical about the likelihood of such a transfer, citing limited stockpiles and the risk of a major escalation of hostilities.

russian dictator Vladimir Putin warned that supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles would destroy Moscow’s relations with Washington.
