US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war, sources say

The US Army has reportedly depleted "virtually all" of its long-range precision missiles, specifically Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM), during its five-month war with Iran, which began in February. This raises concerns about the military's readiness for future conflicts, according to three anonymous sources familiar with the data. The depletion of these expensive munitions, costing over $1 million each, could force the US to rely on riskier piloted bombing missions for future large-scale attacks on Iran. President Trump, however, stated that the US has "far more munitions than anyone in the world" and that defense companies are increasing production. Despite this, analysts caution that current production levels may not meet the demands of a prolonged war. Additionally, stockpiles of defensive weapons like Patriot interceptors and THAAD ballistic missile interceptors have also significantly dwindled, with estimates suggesting a 65% expenditure of Patriot interceptors and a 38% reduction in THAAD interceptors since the war began.
