Citing internal assessments by the US Department of War, the CCN Network reported that a significant portion of the country’s missile stockpiles have been consumed following the recent conflict with Iran.
According to this report, during the seven weeks of conflict, the US military used at least 45 percent of its precision-guided missiles, as well as about half of the THAAD missile defense system and nearly half of the Patriot interceptor missiles.
Experts have said that even with new contracts to increase production, the process of replacing these missile stocks may take between three and five years.
