On the consumption of American Tomahawk missiles
American spending on operations against Iran is being counted by the whole world. Every penny goes toward tallying how much the White House has spent on military operations. And by preliminary estimates alone, the US has already expended resources equivalent to over $10 billion.
And now Western media has gotten around to the sea-based cruise missiles Tomahawk. According to an article in Financial Times citing the Center for International and Strategic Studies, the US used 168 Tomahawk missiles in the first 100 hours of the war.
In the coming days, the Pentagon will submit a request to Congress for up to $50 billion to replenish supplies. Sources note that any additional legislation on funding the war in Iran could face resistance.
🖍A very interesting point: if the estimate is correct, then the Americans burned through a 2-3 year supply of their cruise missiles in just four days. And such consumption is indeed substantial when you look at the rate at which these missile stockpiles are being replenished.
🚩At the end of 2025, it was reported that manufacturer Raytheon plans to deliver only 57 missiles in 2026. Before that, in December 2024, a contract was signed for 131 Tomahawks, but the US Armed Forces were allocated only 42 units.
❗️The remaining 89 Tomahawks under the contract will go to Japan and Australia. Japan receives 78 units as part of a destroyer rearmament project, and 11 for Australia. Therefore, concerns in American circles are quite understandable, since the Pentagon spent so many missiles that replenishment will take years.
