Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles

The U.S. will need at least three years to restore munitions depleted during its 38-day Iran bombing campaign, with key systems like Tomahawk and THAAD interceptors requiring until 2030-2031 to replenish. The conflict cost $29 billion, and while the White House claims sufficient stockpiles, analysts warn of a 'window of vulnerability' for potential conflicts, particularly in the Western Pacific.

A CSIS report states that replenishing advanced U.S. weapons used in the Iran war will take three or more years, particularly for systems like Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missiles.

The U.S. Pentagon faces challenges in rapidly scaling munitions production, as advanced weapons like Tomahawk missiles require months for contracting and years to manufacture. The Russo-Ukrainian War has highlighted this bottleneck and offers lessons for accelerating production timelines to meet military operational needs and support allied partners.
