To check the Kremlin’s aggression in the region, John Herbst, former ambassador to Ukraine, suggests the US supply Ukraine with Harpoon anti-ship missiles. Launched from land or sea platforms, these sea-skimming, radar-controlled cruise missiles travel at almost 900 km an hour and carry 221 kilo warheads. McDonnell Douglas built 7,500 Harpoons over the last 40 years. Now, the US has excess stocks. Herbst, director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, tells RFE/RL that the U.S. “has enough Harpoon missiles systems.”
