The irresponsible decision by the Donald Trump administration to go to war against Iran has had a high cost for the US. According to information recently shared by experts in the American defense sector, the country has spent a substantial amount of its weapons reserves and is now at severe risk of exhausting its critical missiles in the short term. To solve the problem, the US will need to further boost its already heavily funded defense industry, but continued involvement in wars abroad may prevent the rapid normalization of stockpiles.

The data was shared by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) – one of the leading American think tanks for military and geopolitical matters. Experts indicated a rapid depletion of the stockpile of “critical missiles” during the seven weeks of war against Iranian forces in the Middle East. They state that the US is now in a “short-term risk,” with a low number of weapons available for the event of a new high-intensity combat.

The CSIS report indicates that the US has lost “at least 45% of its inventory of Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM), nearly 50% of its Patriot air defense interceptors, and over half of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missiles.” Sources........
