Do I understand correctly that yesterday's attacks used 47 Tomahawk missiles, and that the 2015 fiscal year budget provided for the production of only 100 Tomahawk missiles (which was increased in July by Congress to 196)?
Do I also understand correctly that the replacement for the Tomahawk will be ready by 2018 at the earliest?
This article says that if we use 100 per year, we'll run out of Tomahawks in 2018. At 47 per day, we'll run out in less than a week.
What am I missing?
Sorry. Found another link claiming an inventory of 4,000 Tomahawks. If we attack daily and use 47 Tomahawks per attack, we’re good for 85 days. In fiscal year 2015, we buy another 3-1/2 days’ worth.
