U.S. Faces Shortage of Advanced Defensive Missiles Amid Ongoing Conflicts
The U.S. military's inventory of advanced defensive missiles has significantly decreased, with reports indicating a drop from nearly 2,800 to about 1,100 missiles during the initial months of the Iraq war. Experts warn that this shortage could hinder the U.S.'s ability to deter potential attacks from adversaries like China and Russia. The Pentagon is working to increase missile production, but it may take several years to restore the stockpile to pre-war levels.
