Replacing an SM-3 Interceptor Takes Up to 64 Months. The US Military Just Spent Half Its Stock on Iran.

Summary by 19FortyFive
A CSIS assessment found that munitions beyond air interceptors are running low after the Iran war, including Tomahawk cruise missiles. Replacement is the harder problem: production timelines run 42 months at the shortest and as long as 64 months for the SM-3 interceptor. That is five years and four months to rebuild something expended in seconds.
