CNN Reveals Shocking Decline in U.S. Missile Stockpiles, Says 80% of THAAD Missiles Have Been Used

According to the report: U.S. broadcaster CNN, citing informed sources, has reported that since the start of the conflict with Iran, the U.S. military has consumed a significant portion of its air defense and long-range precision weapon stockpiles.

The report states that the U.S. military has used approximately 80% of its THAAD air defense missiles, nearly half of its Patriot missile inventory, and around half of its Tomahawk cruise missile stockpile during the conflict. It also claims that almost all of its long-range precision surface-to-surface weapons have been expended.

CNN further reported that senior U.S. military commanders have warned the Department of Defense about the dangerously low levels of ammunition and missile inventories, a matter that has reportedly become one of the Pentagon’s top concerns.
