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.

      Yeah, Russia can’t get into their neighbor. They lost their Navy to a country with NO NAVY. How are they going to project power into the US? However much it cost to put trump into power has returned a million fold investment. they dont have to do shit but keep investing in the incompetent ppl in the US government.

        How are they going to project power into the US?

        By corrupting the US government and using its assets against Russia’s other enemies.

        Not every power play has to be millitary. Remember that Putin was KGB and understands very well how control and manipulation work.
