Pentagon urges faster weapons production

The U.S. Department of Defense has requested the defense industry sector to significantly accelerate the production of weapons and ammunition, especially those that are critically short due to the war with Iran. The department has given companies a deadline of no more than 21 days to submit plans for increasing production and expediting delivery schedules, emphasizing the urgent need to develop capabilities quickly without relying on lengthy development cycles. This step is part of the department's efforts to bolster its stockpiles of Patriot and THAAD missiles, as their inventories have dropped substantially—down to less than half of their pre-war levels. The plans also include increasing investments in facilities and enhancing collaboration between the government and private sector to ensure the growing military demands are met.
