US faces shortage of advanced defensive missiles
U.S. military forces have depleted nearly 60% of their advanced missile defense stockpiles, including Patriot and THAAD interceptors, during the initial five months of the conflict with Iraq. The stock reduction has raised concerns about the U.S. ability to deter potential threats from China and Russia, with officials warning that current inventories are insufficient for credible defense. Replenishing the missile stockpiles is expected to take several years, and defense experts emphasize the need for building less expensive missile systems to bridge the gap.
