Iran strikes threaten to deplete US weapons supplies 

— and put American troops at risk

The administration already burned through significant stockpiles of air defense missiles

 in operations against Iran and its proxy groups.

There just

aint no easy way to put it.

Were Screwed.

"The Navy also has defended ships in the Red Sea by striking Houthi weapons and launch sites in Yemen with Tomahawk missiles. In one day in January 2024, it fired more Tomahawks than the Navy had purchased the prior year, said Mackenzie Eaglen, a senior defense fellow at the American Enterprise Institute." 

Now to the piece:

Iran strikes threaten to deplete US weapons supplies 

— and put American troops at risk

"Pentagon officials and Hill lawmakers are increasingly warning that prolonged Iran strikes could stress U.S. military stockpiles to the brink and make the country more vulnerable."

"Gen. Dan Caine, the Joint Chiefs of Staff chair, has raised concerns about the military’s shortage of air defense interceptors since January, according to a person familiar with the conversations. But the fears have magnified in recent weeks as the Pentagon amassed the largest military buildup in the Middle East since the Iraq War."

"They follow a huge expansion of the nation’s military operations. President Donald Trump has often relied on the Pentagon to pursue his foreign policy goals — from capturing Venezuela’s leader to killing alleged drug traffickers, bombing Yemen’s Houthi group and striking Iran last year to decimate its nuclear program. Many of these operations burned through significant numbers of Standard Missile-3s, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense interceptors and Patriot missiles."

(And I have been telling everybody for years 

that it was the plan.

(That is another reason this is SO significant.

The JV team

(Iranians)

can and probably will

overwhelm and exhaust

Israeli air defenses.

And if they can do that?

They can get us to exhaust 

some of our carrier groups

missile defenses as well.

Right as were leading into 

China and Taiwan etc.)

"The defense industry has struggled for years to produce critical air defense interceptors that protect against incoming missiles, partly because of the complexity and speed of production. Interviews with six current and former U.S. officials and members of Congress underscored widespread worries that sustained Iranian responses could deplete those waning U.S. air defenses and leave tens of thousands of American troops in the region unprotected against Tehran’s missile salvos."

“Do we have enough interceptors to sustain a retaliation?” said the person familiar with the talks. “We don’t have a discretely focused objective. Is it regime change or is it [just] ballistic missiles?”

(Kinda hard to meet your objectives

when you don't even know what they are.)

"The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, estimated the U.S. fired up to 20 percent of the Standard Missile-3 interceptors it was expected to have on hand in 2025, and between 20 to 50 percent of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missiles."

"The U.S. military, beyond air defense munitions, also risks overusing Tomahawk land attack missiles and other precision strike weapons, Karako said, which are likely to figure into any future fight with Beijing.

“It’s a tragedy to expend a Tomahawk when a gravity bomb will do,” he said, referring to an aircraft-dropped explosive. “It’s the strike munitions that we also need to steward and husband for deterring or prosecuting a war with China.”
