Those strikes come with a significant price tag. In some cases, U.S. forces have used Tomahawk missiles, which can cost about $2 million each. But even beyond the costs themselves, analysts warn that the U.S. is quickly depleting its weapons stockpiles, which were already running thin after years of military support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
“The price of the munitions themselves may be pennies to the Pentagon financially, but using so many of them amounts to a significant blow to our actual stockpiles of these weapons,” said Mr. DiMino, the Defense Priorities analyst. “By some estimates, the Navy has already used more than a year’s worth of [Tomahawk missile] production in Yemen. It takes time to build these things. So, the costs are not just sticker price. It can set back our production by years in some cases.”
Not concerned, we have the manufacturing capability to make more but we aren’t because we’re currently prioritizing profits for the MIC. Come war time the profits will be ignored and war time production of the American giant is unparalleled. If we decide to we can cover every inch of Yemen with tomahawks and bunker busters then switch back to “peace” mode
Yes, and now you know why most of the world’s inhabitants hate the USA
Most of the world’s inhabitants hate each other too
You can’t print a supply chain out of thin air. These things take time, if you start now you may be ready in 10 years.
