US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war: Reuters
Military leaders say the U.S. has used virtually all of its long-range missiles, raising readiness concerns as stockpiles of other weapons also fall.
- The U.S. Army has used up "virtually all" of its long-range precision missile stockpiles—specifically Army Tactical Missile Systems and Precision Strike Missiles —during the five-month war with Iran, according to report from Reuters.
- Military sources expressed concern that the rapid depletion threatens global readiness, warning that low inventories could severely limit the U.S. military's ability to deter potential conflicts with near-peer adversaries like China and Russia.
- U.S. Central Command has nearly exhausted its regional munitions supply, requiring the Pentagon to transfer land-based precision weapons from stockpiles deployed in other regions around the world.
- Defense analysts highlight that replenishing the high-end munitions will take years, noting that replacing advanced systems costing over $1 million each creates a window of vulnerability despite recent production increases.
- President Donald Trump dismissed concerns over weapon shortages, issuing a statement assuring that the U.S. possesses "far more munitions than anyone in the world" while defense contractors scale up manufacturing to record levels.
