The U.S. has depleted its store of seven major types of missiles, intensifying concerns of a “near-term risk” it will run out of munitions for a future war.
The Pentagon has used at least 45% of its stockpile of Precision Strike Missiles; 50% of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors inventory; and almost half of its stockpile of Patriot ballistic interceptor missiles—all within the first seven weeks of war with Iran, according to an analysis published this week by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
