🇺🇸⚡️ — Raytheon Corporation (RTX) announced that it has received a seven-year U.S. Navy contract to supply an undisclosed number of Tomahawk cruise missiles for a record $22.9 billion. The contract was awarded under the U.S. Department of Defense’s “Arsenal of Freedom” program and, building on previous agreements with the Pentagon, supports efforts to increase Tomahawk production to more than 1,000 missiles per year.

Raytheon’s investments have already resulted in a threefold increase in Tomahawk production during the first half of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025.

According to the U.S. Navy, the procurement cost of a Tomahawk Block V missile in fiscal year 2026 is $3.64 million. If that price remains unchanged, the new contract would theoretically cover the production of nearly 6,300 missiles. However, as production increases, the U.S. Department of Defense intends to reduce the procurement cost of the missiles.

🇺🇦❌🇬🇷 — A Ukrainian drone struck the Greek tanker Skiros in the Black Sea after it had loaded oil at the port of Novorossiysk on August 16.

Greek media published a video of the attack featuring a drone carrying out a reconnaissance flight over the sea, and then striking the deck bridge of a Greek tanker. A fire breaks out immediately after the strike, though it is unclear whether any crew members have been injured.

It is believed that the attack was carried out by a drone operated by the Ukrainian authorities, who have recently carried out similar attacks on tankers loaded with oil from this Russian port.
