US uses hundreds of Tomahawk missiles on Iran, raising Pentagon supply concerns: Washington Post
The U.S. has launched over 850 costly Tomahawk missiles in a month-long Iran war, raising Pentagon concerns about rapid depletion and the need to boost production.
- US forces have fired more than 850 Tomahawk missiles in the four-week war in Iran, according to The Washington Post, prompting internal Pentagon concerns about rapidly depleting stockpiles.
- Launched on February 28, the campaign consumes an average of 16 Tomahawks daily, exhausting approximately a quarter of the military's total inventory in just four weeks.
- Pentagon officials told The Washington Post that remaining supplies are "alarmingly low," with some sources indicating reserves are closing in on "Winchester," military slang meaning nearly out of ammunition.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously stated the military has "no shortage of munitions" and supplies would "sustain this campaign as long as we need to," contradicting internal Pentagon assessments.
