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.
Honestly, there’s really no shortage of these. They’re not saying we might run out, they’re saying we might have to order more. It’s essentially just a matter of writing a check.
The US government is insolvent and broke. Who’s paying for that shit?
And yet somehow there’s always money for the defense budget.
I’m not saying I like the situation, but realistically, if the US government wants more missiles, I don’t think they’re gonna have any trouble getting them.
