A combat mission in Ukraine featuring the Russian Zemledeliye remote-controlled mining system of the Center Forces Group. The video was filmed in the Pokrovsk sector, showing the Zemledeliye mining vehicle remotely laying mines in the area.

Ukraine will initially require Typhon launchers to operate Tomahawk, but autonomous systems (X-MAV) will eventually become Ukraine's standard Tomahawk launcher.

The X-MAV carries four Tomahawk cruise missiles and offers greater mobility than the existing Typhon MRC.

The production rate of X-MAV launchers could reach hundreds of units per year. Who can, and who will, receive these launchers first is already quite obvious.

Production rate of hundreds of launchers per year based on what? Proven history of delivering how many actual operational X-MAV units per year? Or is that from the same PowerPoint slide deck?

In which decade?. You are being way too optimistic with regards the western MIC where even legacy already-paid-for-r&d aren't built "by the hundreds" either.

Each carries 4 Tomahawk missiles I think. The US cannot build hundreds of Tomahawk missiles a year let alone thousands. Not when they typically build like 50 of them a year. You can bet engine production is a bottleneck.

Or are just in the books waiting to happen... years after they are supposed to be fielded.

Only thing possible is selling a recently decomissioned ship with some missiles or to bring a fielded typhoon batteries from elsewhere. Both options could be done soon, maybe next year if they want it to happen.

Any of these options will be followed and probably destroyed soon after arrival. Better to launch when receiving them.
