US to Run Out of All Tomahawk Missiles in Couple of Months

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The US Navy retains at least a three-month supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles, as the 3,992-unit strategic inventory objective provides a substantial buffer against the monthly expenditure rate of 850 munitions recorded since hostilities began, according to a Sputnik correspondent’s analysis of the US Navy’s budget documents.
