What happened
The U.S. Army has used virtually all of its ATACMS and Precision Strike Missile stocks during the five-month war with Iran, drawing down its main long-range precision arsenal. U.S. forces have also depleted nearly 80% of THAAD interceptors, and some estimates put Patriot interceptor use at nearly two-thirds of inventory. The Pentagon is pursuing nearly 14,000 replacement Patriot Advanced Capability-3 and THAAD interceptor components from Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin as officials debate future readiness risks.
