Pentagon speeds up interceptor missile production
The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced the signing of two framework agreements with Boeing and RTX companies to increase the production of components for missile defense weapons, especially the Aegis system and SM-3 missiles. The goal is to accelerate manufacturing and meet the needs of the U.S. military amid growing concerns over stockpiles dwindling after intensive use by the American forces during the war with Iran. This move is part of efforts to enhance U.S. missile defense capabilities and speed up ammunition production, as U.S. forces launched over 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles and more than a thousand missiles from the Patriot and Thaad systems during the initial months of the conflict. Simultaneously, there is pressure on defense industry companies to meet the increasing demand for weapons, aiming to reduce the likelihood of ammunition shortages and maintain combat readiness.
