Pentagon urges defense firms to boost weapon supplies
The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) emphasized the need to accelerate weapon production, particularly ammunition and interceptor missiles, in order to compensate for the depletion of stocks that were impacted during the conflict with Iran. The Deputy Secretary of Defense has given defense companies a 21-day deadline to develop plans to increase production and expedite delivery processes, as the risks to U.S. defense capabilities continue to grow—especially after the Patriot missile stockpiles were reduced by 65% from pre-war levels—putting American forces at greater risk in the event of an escalation. This move is part of efforts to update the American defense industrial base and may face obstacles due to the stagnation in the approved defense budget.
