US weapons stockpiles continue to dwindle with permanent end to Iran war nowhere in sight

The US military’s weapons stockpiles, including its inventory of crucial air defense missiles, remain severely depleted following a major flare up of the war with Iran in recent weeks, according to three sources familiar with recent Pentagon data and a new report by outside analysts.

A substantive settlement to end the conflict remains elusive, and the shortage of the missiles could impact the US’ ability to engage on other fronts.

In a Monday report, researchers from the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank estimated that fewer than 827 Patriot interceptors remain in US stockpiles, and fewer than 278 THAAD ballistic missile interceptors are left. The three sources familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to discuss the US stockpile, told CNN that the CSIS estimates were close to internal government figures

WASHINGTON — U.S. military commanders have been picking and choosing which Iranian missiles and explosive-packed drones to intercept and are allowing some attacks through their defenses, amid an effort to preserve the Pentagon’s diminishing supply of weapons that block projectiles from reaching their targets, two senior U.S. officials told NBC News.

Why the U.S. military is letting some Iranian projectiles through its defenses

Standard operating procedure in journalism for the past eighty years, but 'suddenly' it bothers you?

Trump will get DOJ to prosecute people for speaking to the media, explain to the board what motivation whistle blowers have to reveal their real names?

You and Trump should never have started this stupid and ill-advised war, and I will continue to point that out to you.

Do you trust Trump himself who said before Trump started this war that 'Biden had left the munitions cupboard bare'?

Interesting how Trump wants to blame Biden for that but then says 'the US has lots of munition and there is nothing to worry about' when it comes to how much he is expending in his war.


How do magats like you deal with that cognitive dissonance KNOWING that if the second is true then his accusation against Biden was a lie?

Up to 80% of the THAAD missiles.

That leaves us essentially defenseless to ballistic missile attack.

Gee, I hope Putin doesn't notice.

MAGA minds are closed minds. No point discussing it with him. As for the shortage, I can't remember ever hearing before of the U.S.
stymied in this manner. Not in any way a good look.
