Currently, the U.S. has about 1,000 Tomahawks of all variants in their inventory. These are divided up across all branches.

As an example of past deployed numbers in a comflict, the U.S. used just over 800 Tomahawks against Iraqi targets during Desert Storm.

To be honest, I would really like to see Tomahawks raining down on Putinland, but the reality is, that there just is not enough to share with Ukraine while maintaing effective stocks to counter any potential f**kery in the Pacific.

Probably, more than 1,000 Tomahawks?

By the numbers: US missile capacity depleting fast

Our industrial base isn't keeping up with the pace of weapons transfers to Ukraine and Israel

Anyway, this new weapon for the theatre will require ground launchers (not yet mass-produced), new infrastructure, training, additional air defences (in short supply today), maintenance & repair systems in Poland or Germany, etc. A lot of money, and most probably, PURL does not have additional funds for Tomahawks.

Only in the last few days we have the example of 100-150 orders for the JAS 39 Gripen fighters. The details have to be finalised but I personally believe that the only thing that might stop it is if Trump puts an export blockage on the engine. Even then that might be the trigger to quickly develop the RR engine version.

De-Americanizing the Gripen is definitely doable,. but it's a lot more than the engine.

It will be interesting to see if this is wise in the drone era.

UH-1Y can replace the ageing Mi-8.
Not sure about AH-1Z. GUR wanted to have its own fleet of choppers in 2022-2023, but the war has changed, indeed.
