The rate at which the U.S. military has used the Tomahawk missiles in the Iran war has reportedly prompted internal talks about increasing supplies
Some Pentagon officials are concerned about the “alarmingly low” supply of Tomahawk missiles remaining in the U.S. military’s arsenal after firing 850 of the weapons into Iran, according to a report.
The rate at which the U.S. military has used the Tomahawk missiles in President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, now in its fourth week, has prompted internal talks about increasing supplies, according to The Washington Post.
U.S. officials told the newspaper that the number of Tomahawks left in the Middle East was “alarmingly low.” Another official told the outlet that the U.S. supply of Tomahawks was closing in on “Winchester,” military slang that means almost out of ammunition.
They’re starting to look like a waste of money that we should not replenish.
That’s sounds very unpatriotic, citizen. Are you a dirty commie?! /s
Sounds like Nextdoor.
Right… that’s the concern here… dwindling supplies.
those are about 3 million each, in pre trump funds. Looks like tax paying Americans will all be emptying or wallets and cutting services to replace those now too. I hope Israel is happy with us and sends our politicians a tiny fraction of that amount in bribes.
Btw only 9000 tomahawk missiles have ever been produced in the 43 year lifespan of the tomahawk program, and at top speed we can produce 600 a year. We usually make up to 90 a year. We reportedly had between 3-4000 in our inventory.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a gun nut or at all pro war, but why do they produce multimillion dollar missiles consisting of metal, fuel and explosives for that much for a one-way use instead of using that money to prevent wars? Well, call me a sweet summer child.
That’s what, 2.5 billion taxpayer dollars. For a war taxpayers don’t want.
Fuck Trump.
Spend billons on more bombs while global economic collapse looms.
Creating jobs.
They can just get ICE to loan them some.
It’s so silly. Those were made to be used ‘surgically’: to hit specific high value targets at extended range while minimising collateral damage. If you feel the need to use 850 of them, you’ve chosen the wrong weapon system: at that point, you should be flying B52’s over whatever you want to hit. Or turn Tehran into a glass parking lot.
Once again, comedy gold for the Kremlin.
Trump is preparing the us for invasion. Invasion by Russia. Exhaust the military supplies, run the world’s fuel supply dry so that tanks etc are useless and no one can come help, then Russia, still flush with oil can walk in with their remaining hardware unopposed
I am sad that you are making a lot sense. I am happy that I have stocked up on ammo.
How is Russia supposed to invade the US? Russia can’t even take over their neighbor and Russia lost a huge portion of their Black Sea Fleet to a country that doesn’t even have a navy. If they can’t even do that, how do they land troops on a continent on the other side of the world, a continent protected by the world’s strongest navy and air force.
Russia doesn’t even have an aircraft carrier anymore…
Now they will print more dollars to buy some more Tomahawks and the world will bet on that dollar again. When it does this shit (USA) will collapse fast.
USA has nothing more than Money and resource. that is perfectly fine. Anyway American taxpayer will prever to stay hungry but keep feed the army
Tactical nukes are inevitable at this point.
