The United States has depleted most of its inventory of key long-range precision missiles during its months-long military campaign against Iran, according to a Reuters report citing officials familiar with internal defense assessments. The development has sparked concerns among defense analysts and some U.S. officials over America's preparedness for another major conflict if one were to erupt elsewhere.
The reported drawdown affects some of the U.S. military's most advanced long-range strike weapons, including the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) and the newer Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), both designed to hit high-value targets from hundreds of kilometers away.
