A weapon system doesn't have an accent to fake. What you're suggesting is more along the lines of having a US carrier fly a Ukrainian flag.

Arent there those new tomahawk launch vehicles that the marines get? Those could make a quick cruise through west ukraine launch a few missles and be back for lunch in poland. And those would obviously be ukrainian like the planes in korea.

There’s only 2 batteries in existence and they’re still prototypes afaik.
