Japanese, South Korean, and European media document a major operational constraint that US press ignores: a quarter of Tomahawk stock consumed in 56 days.
Japanese media (Nikkei), South Korean media (Korea Times), and European media (Der Spiegel, Financial Times) have documented the depletion of US cruise missile stocks after 56 days of war against Iran. The CSIS estimated the pre-conflict stock to be around 4,000 Tomahawk missiles. At 1,100 fired, a quarter of the stock is consumed in two months ([see our analysis](/fr/sujets/iran-guerre-armes-epuisees-otan-fracture-20260424)).
