The American magazine “The Atlantic” reported on Monday that the United States has consumed about two-thirds of its interceptor missile stockpile since the outbreak of the war with Iran, which forces Washington and its allies to seek alternatives to compensate for the growing shortage of defensive munitions.
Special Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
The report explained that recent developments in warfare methods have surprised the United States, at a time when its military industries do not have sufficient capacity to reproduce weapons at the required speed.
It indicated that this has led to growing fears of the erosion of strategic stockpiles and has reflected on the margin of political and military options available to the US administration.
The magazine added that any decision to send ground forces to Iran to secure navigation and keep the Strait of Hormuz open would lead to the depletion of the remaining American air defense systems in protecting those forces.
