U.S. military reports reveal heavy ammunition consumption in the Iran war; years needed to "recover"

CNN reporter Bertrand stated that U.S. military “precision strike missiles” have been used at least 45%; “THAAD” missile defense interceptors have been used at least half; “Patriot” missile interceptors have been used nearly half. Additionally, according to estimates from the Center for Strategic and International Studies and sources, U.S. Navy “Tomahawk” cruise missile stockpiles have been depleted by 30%; “Offensive Ground-Launched Missiles Outside the Joint Defense Area” have been used over 20%; “Standard-3” and “Standard-6” missile defense interceptors have been used about 20%. It may take the U.S. several years to replenish these weapons and munitions to pre-attack levels against Iran. Earlier this year, the Pentagon signed contracts with some companies to increase missile production. However, even with expanded capacity, it will take 3 to 5 years to replenish the weapons and munitions consumed during the Iran conflict. (CCTV News)
