US invests $24B in missile interceptors
The Pentagon announced that it has awarded the American company Raytheon a contract worth $24.4 billion to accelerate the production of the SM-6 missile interceptors. The goal is to replenish the U.S. military's stocks, which were depleted during the war against Iran. The deal spans five years, with an option to extend it by two more, aiming to speed up production, expand defense capabilities, and secure supply chains. The report indicated that the consumption of ammunition during the operation against Iran has led to a strategic shortage in the stockpiles, with an expectation that this shortage will persist for several years.
