U.S. Weapon Delivery Delays May Extend to Five Years
The United States has warned its allies that delays in delivering key weaponry could extend up to five years, due to depletion of their stockpiles during the Iran war and facing constraints in production and supply. Estimates indicate that the war has consumed more than half of the Patriot missile stockpiles, a third of Tomahawk missiles, and about half of the precision missile munitions and defense systems such as THAAD. Pentagon officials admit there is a strategic shortage, while defense companies are working to ramp up production to compensate for the shortages.
