US Missile Shortfalls Strain Indo-Pacific Deterrence
The US military's dwindling missile stockpile, depleted by a staggering 30% in recent operations against Iran, has sparked a pressing concern: can the Indo-Pacific region's defenses be maintained? A critical delay in delivering Tomahawk cruise missiles to Japan has exposed a capability gap, threatening the stability of the region.

US Weapons Stockpiles Dwindle After Iran War
The US has burned through a third of its Tomahawk missile stockpile in the recent war with Iran, and at the current production rate of just 86 missiles per year, it'll take over three years to replenish what's been lost. This alarming depletion rate raises serious concerns about the country's military readiness.

Europa teme que el repliegue de EE UU ordenado por Trump abra una reconfiguración de la OTAN

The U.S. has used close to 1,000 Tomahawk missiles since June 2025 and has been procuring them at a rate of about 90 per year.
opérationnel, il faut deux à trois ans incompressibles. La chimie des propergols, la qualification des composants, la montée en cadence des usines, ni l'urgence politique ni les milliards annoncés n'y changent quoi que ce soit.
On ne cherche pas les maillons faibles quand tout fonctionne : toute la filière repose sur une poignée de sites, parfois un seul. Le moteur qui propulse le Patriot propulse aussi le #THAAD, le #Tomahawk, le Standard Missile.

Agi: La Germania guarda ai missili balistici turchi per sostituire i Tomahawk
AGI - La Germania ha dato il via a colloqui con la Turchia per acquisire il missile balistico intercontinentale Yildirimhan e il missile ipersonico Tayfun Block-4, armi di ultima generazione recentemente lanciati dall'industria della Difesa turca. La notizia è stata riportata dal quotidiano tedesco Die Welt, che cita fonti Nato e Ue ed è stata indirettamente confermata dai media turchi.
La Germania tenterebbe così di colmare il vuoto nelle capacità di attacco a lungo raggio creatosi dopo che il presidente statunitense Donald Trump ha annullato il previsto dispiegamento dei missili Tomahawk in Germania. Secondo il quotidiano tedesco Berlino starebbe lavorando su due direttrici parallele: una joint venture con il produttore statunitense RTX per avviare la produzione dei Tomahawk in Germania già dal 2028 e la parallela acquisizione diretta dei sistemi missilistici turchi.
Caratteristiche dei sistemi turchi
In particolare Yildirimhan, primo missile balistico intercontinentale turco con una gittata di 6.000 chilometri, è stato presentato pubblicamente la scorsa settimana e potrebbe essere consegnato già dal 2028, mentre le consegne del Tayfun Block-4 sono previste alcuni anni più tardi.
Contesto Nato e decisioni statunitensi
Il dispiegamento pianificato di tre sistemi d'attacco di precisione statunitensi era stato concordato nel luglio 2024 tra l'ex presidente americano Joe Biden e l'ex cancelliere tedesco Olaf Scholz in risposta allo schieramento da parte della Russia di missili da crociera SSC-8 a capacità nucleare nell'enclave di Kaliningrad, una mossa che ha fatto tremare la Germania.
Sistemi previsti e ritiro Usa
Tra i sistemi previsti figuravano: il missile da crociera Tomahawk, con una gittata fino a 2.500 chilometri, il missile ipersonico terrestre Dark Eagle, con una gittata superiore ai 2.500 chilometri, il missile balistico SM-6, con una gittata superiore ai 500 chilometri. Trump ha successivamente annullato il dispiegamento annunciando inoltre il ritiro di circa 5.000 soldati statunitensi dalla Germania.
Germany is looking at Turkish ballistic missiles to replace the Tomahawks.
Germany has begun talks with Turkey to acquire the Yildirimhan intercontinental ballistic missile and the Tayfun Block-4 hypersonic missile, advanced-generation weapons recently launched by the Turkish defense industry. The news was reported by the German newspaper Die Welt, citing NATO and EU sources, and was indirectly confirmed by Turkish media.
Germany would thus seek to fill the gap in long-range attack capabilities created after U.S. President Donald Trump canceled the planned deployment of Tomahawk missiles to Germany. According to the German newspaper, Berlin is working on two parallel tracks: a joint venture with U.S. manufacturer RTX to begin Tomahawk production in Germany as early as 2028, and the parallel direct acquisition of the Turkish missile systems.
Characteristics of the Turkish Systems
In particular, the Yildirimhan, the first Turkish intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 6,000 kilometers, was publicly unveiled last week and could be delivered as early as 2028, while deliveries of the Tayfun Block-4 are expected several years later.
NATO Context and U.S. Decisions
The planned deployment of three U.S. precision strike systems had been agreed in July 2024 between former U.S. President Joe Biden and former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in response to Russia’s deployment of SSC-8 cruise missiles with nuclear capabilities in the Kaliningrad enclave, a move that shook Germany.
Systems Planned and U.S. Withdrawal
The planned systems included: the Tomahawk cruise missile, with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, the Dark Eagle terrestrial hypersonic missile, with a range exceeding 2,500 kilometers, and the SM-6 ballistic missile, with a range exceeding 500 kilometers. Trump subsequently canceled the deployment, also announcing the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 U.S. soldiers from Germany.

Die russische #Flugabwehr ist nicht mal mehr in der Lage die 9. Mai #Parade im Moskau zu schützen, obwohl Abwehrsysteme aus ganz #Russland dorthin verlegt wurden. Die #Ukraine kann jetzt fast ungehindert strategische Infrastruktur in Hinterland Russlands zerstören. Dadurch konnte die Ukraine mittlerweile auch die Initiative an der Front erlangen. Das Ende der Schreckensherrschaft von Wladimir #Putin rückt immer näher🙏
Seine #Tomahawk kann sich #Trump übrigens sonst wo hinstecken, wir nehmen einfach die #Flamingo #Marschflügkörper der Ukrainer würde ich sagen
