US Army depletes 80% of THAAD missiles
The article reveals that the U.S. military consumed approximately 80% of its THAAD missile interceptors during the war with Iran, with about half of its Patriot missile stockpile being depleted. This raises concerns about a potential ammunition shortage within the Pentagon. It is estimated that before the war, the United States possessed around 2,200 Patriot missiles and 452 THAAD missiles, most of which have now been used up. This depletion impacts the American and Gulf air defenses' ability to respond to a possible Iranian retaliation. Military warnings have been issued regarding ammunition shortages, leading to the cancellation of potential strikes on Iran, as worries grow about whether defenses can withstand any future Iranian escalation.
