Main platforms for TLAMs in the US are surface ships (DDGs of Arleigh Burke class) and Virginia-class SSNs. So, to those who continue to view SMO through the prism of media hot air and empty statements by politicians. Here is the table:
Here is the analysis (basic calculations) from people in the know.
This plaque shows how many Block V modification "Tomahawk" cruise missiles have been purchased since 2014 - about 1000 units. The total stock, minus those decommissioned and disposed of, launched during military operations or exercises, is about 3800 cruise missiles. Yes, there were plans in 2023 to increase the production of non-nuclear (there are no others and will not be) "axes" to 250-280 units per year, but instead, in 2024, 0 units were purchased. The US used to estimate the annual production of long-range sea cruise missiles in the Empire at about 250 units per year. And they had reasons for that - roughly such figures, minus nuclear variants, were declassified but were unlikely to be entirely truthful. And now they estimate the monthly production of only the 3M14 "Kalibr" in non-nuclear variants to be much higher than their own annual production. And we think they are still underestimating...
I want to reiterate--real military professionals are dealing with math, ranging from arithmetic to complex models, every day, because war IS math and always was. Once you begin to consider the technical "attrition" of arsenal you begin to understand why everything the US does in military field is a bluff, or bullshit in normal parlance. The US can only supply (per Financial Times) only between 20 to 50 TLAMs. OK. Lavrov today clearly stated that Moscow sees Trump's machinations. Meanwhile:
Sure, sure))
