U.S. Missile Defenses Under Strain | Roanoke News
Description
Recent clashes with Iran have slashed U.S. missile interceptor stocks, with Patriot and THAAD systems down by 65% and 38% respectively, forcing American forces in the Middle East to take greater risks — even a slight drop in interception success could have serious consequences. As the war costs soar to $37.5 billion and the Pentagon seeks $67 billion to replenish, CSIS warns that conserving ammo might mean fewer interceptors fired per threat, potentially leaving incoming missiles and drones unchallenged — despite Pentagon claims that U.S. military power remains unmatched.
