Russia and China watch US ammo shortage
The United States is facing a severe shortage in its weapon stockpiles, especially in air defense missiles and precision munitions, due to their extensive use in conflicts with Iran, during which more than 1,500 Patriot missiles were deployed in the recent war. This shortage has led to delays in delivering weapons to its allies in Europe and Asia, and raises concerns about a diminished deterrent capability. Restoring the American arsenal takes several years, which increases the risk that adversaries such as Russia and China may exploit this situation to strengthen their strategic positions. Although the White House and the Department of Defense have reaffirmed and directed that the United States has the capacity to carry out any operation, experts warn that continued depletion of stockpiles poses a threat to the readiness of American forces and to the balance of global deterrence.
