The Pentagon is burning through its weapons at a rate that has genuinely alarmed its own officials. In the first 16 days alone, the US fired nearly half its combined inventory of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles, and nearly 40 percent of its THAAD interceptors.  Over 850 Tomahawk...

🇺🇸 The U.S. fired more than 800 Tomahawk missiles in the Iran war, at $2.6 million apiece, and it takes nearly 4 years to replenish a single production run. Here is the full picture: -Nearly half of U.S. Patriot interceptors gone -Between 190-290 THAAD interceptors fired ($15.5 million each) -Up to 80% of long-range ground-launched precision missiles expended And the Pentagon is now scrambling to put the defense industry on wartime footing, with companies that make thermostats and electric bus drives suddenly being asked to manufacture missile components… The replacement timeline is the part nobody is talking about: 4-5 years per weapons system, and that is if everything goes perfectly, which it never does. A CSIS war game simulation found that in a U.S.-China conflict over Taiwan, the U.S. would run out of long-range anti-ship missiles in 3-7 days and air-to-surface missiles within a month. The Heritage Foundation found the same scenario leads to "systemic operational failure" by day 120. The Iran war is not going to deplete the U.S. to the point of losing, nobody is saying that, but it has revealed something that adversaries can see clearly: America burned through years of precision munitions stockpile in 6 weeks against a mid-tier military power. A country that can regenerate combat power quickly is dangerous to fight, a country that visibly cannot is one that invites aggression. China is watching, and they just launched their most extensive military drills around Taiwan in years. Source: CBC News

🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸Iran or US: Who will win missile war or attrition? Russian military expert, historian of the Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov explains: 💬 "If we look at the numbers being cited, Iran is said to have between 2,000 and 4,000 missiles. At a launch rate of around 100 or more per day, that would suggest roughly a month of sustained high-intensity missile attacks. As for THAAD interceptors, about 650 have been produced in total, with 150 used during a previous attack. That would leave roughly 400 remaining, possibly fewer. With careful and efficient use, that stock could last around 10 days — perhaps as little as five. If we’re talking about Patriot missiles, the US stockpile is larger, of course, but it can be depleted as well. Especially if they launch 10 missiles against a single Iranian ballistic missile, then they would have enough for three weeks, and that's with a very, very large margin. 👉 So Iran has a very important trump card right now. And if it uses its missiles correctly, saving its most technologically advanced ones, the hypersonic Fattahs, for the final stage—and the Fattahs are not intercepted at all by Israeli Arrow-3 missiles, nor by American THAAD and Patriot systems—then Iran essentially has a chance to land a very painful blow on Israel and the US. And in that way, essentially, to take revenge for the surprise attack carried out on Iran. [The US] produces around 55 interceptors per month, which is not enough to rapidly replenish heavy battlefield usage. New production facilities are under construction in Germany and Romania, but they are not yet operational. While some missiles could potentially be sourced from Arab states, yet Arab countries are using these missiles too. That’s why I say that given this intensity, this missile use can endure from two to three weeks, four weeks tops. But we don’t know the situation in Iran. It’s possible Iran has underground plants where ballistic missiles are produced as well."
