From Dozens to Thousands: The US is ramping up production of Tomahawk missiles.

The US military, in an effort to replenish depleted stockpiles, announced a $22,9 billion contract with Raytheon to significantly expand its cruise missile manufacturing capacity. missiles Tomahawk, the production volume of which currently amounts to only a few dozen units:

We called on industry to rapidly increase ammunition production.

According to Defense News, the arsenal reduction was due to large deliveries to allies and the active use of munitions in the Iranian conflict. Raytheon stated that the seven-year contract will enable it to expand annual Tomahawk production to over 7 units. The company currently produces only 60 missiles per year.

Typhon:

The Tomahawk is used by the Pentagon primarily as a means of delivering precision strikes against land targets at long ranges from ships and submarines.

Typhon:

Following the demise of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the United States returned the Tomahawks to land. They are now deployed on the Typhon Mobile Ground Facility (SMRF), a semi-trailer carrying a launcher, a modified version of the Mk 41 shipborne cruise missile launcher. Tomahawks are also mounted on the ROGUE wheeled platform for the launch of single cruise missiles.

The arms race between the leading powers is in action.
China is rapidly developing various weapons.
Mattress makers can't keep up with China; it's like a speeding locomotive...
It is not the destiny of mattress makers to contain China.
The restraint has not grown.
One - nuclear war and everyone is kaput.
The mattress makers squandered their hegemonic happiness.

Do they really need China? You can't get much from China. But right next door, under its "tricky leadership," are Siberia and the Far East. There's something there to gain.

As if China would sit back and watch as Siberia and the Far East are snatched away from under its nose. Such a re-division of the world would result in utter chaos.

The US wants to take a lot, but who will give it to them!? Hormuz in their liver!

We already had two, one of whom shouted, "Perestroika, Glasnost, New Thinking," and the other, "God bless America." These two destroyed everything themselves and gave it away. The third (who is now in power) is a worthy "successor" to his predecessors.

Putin did not become prime minister in the post-perestroika USSR.
He came to a poor country robbed by Yeltsin’s Seven Bankers.
With an almost dead economy and "Bush's chicken legs" with Western humanitarian aid.
And now we are slowly grinding this "West" down in Xoxlandia.
I would like it to be tougher, but it is what it is!
So, there is still a difference!

There was one explosion at a military plant in Bulgaria. The second in Italy. Third time's the charm, so it's time for Mexican migrants with Ryazan accents to check out the safety procedures in the US. They've always been lame there – factories have burned, ships have collided with bridge supports, and plane doors have been torn off mid-flight.

This is actually a serious signal. Things are heading towards...

Yes, these signals from their side, as from ours - red lines.

Regarding the expansion of American cruise missile production capacity: the Americans themselves say it's pointless, since the rare earth elements needed for missile production are mined by China, which has banned rare earth supplies to the United States. We might even live to see the wonderful moment when the Pentagon starts gutting washing machines for Tomahawks.

China is imposing bans, but no Western production has come to a standstill. Apparently, gray imports are working in that direction, too.

That's right, allocating billions of dollars is like a statement of intent. Stockpiling missiles into arsenals is still a long way off, like China being a forest away.

This means that the "axes" will soon be flying to Russia for a tour. The tour guides, of course, will initially be the supposed "brothers." But only at first.

There's nothing that can be done. A unilateral end to the war would be a disaster for either side, which would receive both war and shame.
The only difference is that one side understood this immediately and is fighting properly (to the death), while the other is still playing Zarnitsa.

We have the means, but we lack the brains.
According to all the rules of war, air defenses are suppressed and supply routes are cut off at the outset. The first strike on any supply transport from our esteemed partners would have ended it all with helmets. And now, in our fourth year, we're waiting for Tomahawk missiles to arrive... the fruits of far-sighted and wise decisions.

I completely agree with you.

Once again, the DPRK leadership has demonstrated the foresight of its policy of developing a sovereign economy and military-industrial complex. How everyone laughed at them 10-15 years ago.

The US is preparing for a major disaster. I wonder who they're deploying the Golden Dome missile defense system against?
