Pentagon urges arms makers to speed up deliveries
An official memorandum from the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) requested that arms companies accelerate the production and delivery of munitions and weapons. This initiative aims to address the significant decline in American stockpiles during the first month of the war, when over 850 Tomahawk missiles and more than a thousand Patriot and THAAD missiles were launched. Stockpiles of Patriot missiles have decreased from approximately 2,200 to less than 827, and THAAD missiles from 452 to fewer than 278. The implementation of these plans faces challenges related to Congress's approval of a defense budget proposal worth $1.15 trillion. The initiative seeks to bolster America's industrial and defense capacities and to accelerate the development and production of weapons, with a focus on increasing output through agreements with major companies like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.
