Yeah this seems like the kind of operational detail you shouldn’t offer up to your enemy, but hey what do I know
So 5 days into a war and they are running bare with missiles?
Guys, no. Just no. Not only is that mathematically absurd, it’s information you don’t hand your enemy.
*A specific munition* may run low, but that doesn’t mean we’re out. The author needs to grow up and quite with this clickbait bullshit.
Ukrainian war couldn’t do it, but maybe the Iranian war will force the US to actually grow their production capacity to contend with a potential prolonged conflict with China. A larger stockpile may deter a war from starting, but production capacity determines who would ultimately win a war, and the latter would serve as an even bigger deterrence.
As stupid at this Iranian war is, and as good as this war might hopefully end up being for freedom loving Iranians, the US military is still getting valuable experience on how to conduct a complex multi-domain aerial and naval war against an adversary with extensive drone and missile capabilities.
Quite relevant experience to have for any potential conflict with China. It’ll inform future changes to doctrines and tactics, and how defense spending will be allocated for years to come.
The best China has got going to prepare for any such conflict are sims and training exercises… and I’m doubtful the training exercises are all that effective in a system which has a military hierarchy and culture that is corrupted and heavily politicized.
>The math is brutal. Iran can build 100 missiles a month. The US can make six interceptors. Someone’s going to run out first.
A very flawed premise. Iran’s missiles per month may have been 100 at one point, it is now rapidly approaching zero. Nor will they be able to use them at that pace given they are soon running out of launchers.
But this makes it seem like a bad idea. Surely, Trump and his team thought this out?
The point of interceptors is not to stop all the missiles, its to stop some of them while you hunt the launchers. The rate Iran has been firing has dropped markedly. The drones need helicopters to be positioned to attack them. Ukraine has had great success killing them with Mil 8s and truck mounted teams with search lights and old ack ack guns.
The countries under attack are being bought time to respond. Whether they do or not is for them to decide.
Apaches would be great drone hunters, radar and night kit plus the gun has been succesful already.
If they have not set up something in a weeks time thats on them.
Literally all of the numbers used in this article are estimates from outside sources. Why would a military voluntarily tell you how much ammo are in their stockpiles? Why would I listen to an Australian news source about American stockpiles? Its all just fear mongering bullshit.
I’ll just leave this here….China now has a stockpile of millions of military drones (many are dual use of course).
Didn’t they just say they had missiles for an unlimited war?
Several years to build a cruise missile?
If you look at interception rates, then it’s not bad at all.
United Arab Emirates (most heavily targeted, ~63% of strikes in Gulf states targeted them):
– Ballistic missiles: 93% (175/189 intercepted, few landed, others fell into the sea).
– Cruise missiles: 100% (all 8 detected/destroyed).
– Drones: 94% (876/941).
Yes, there are some impacts (debris fires, oil fields, residential areas), but overall it’s fine. In the next days Iran is loosing more and more capability to launch missiles and drones. The less they launch the more Gulf States, US and Israel are able to intercept – the first days air defence got saturated, so more got through.
Can’t we just tell Trump Obama loved war? He’d stop immediately
Honestly, we heard this same bullshit about Russia years ago. Articles about how Russia stockpiles were nearly depleted. This was a matter of weeks into the war. Here we are years later and they’re still raining them down on Ukraine.
These articles are trash. No name journalists from other countries are not gonna have super insider information about military stock piles. These assholes are just using the war to try and get clicks.
Ah yes, the 3 day special military operation that *definitely* isnt going to last 3 days like they thought it would.
Thats bait.
The idea that the public knows US capacity to make weapons is ludacris.
Aaah, so that’s why Trump out of the blue started babbling about how the US has supplies to go on fighting *forever*, even. He had obviously been told about this, and his child brain responded like that.
The us isn’t running out of missiles
Its Iran and the gulf countries that running out of missiles
I’ve been consistently impressed with the utter incompetence of the Trump administration, but if we manage to attack Iran *and lose…*
… god dammit that will be one hell of an achievement, I can’t even deny how fucking ridiculous that would be
This better be misinformation. Also why would they make this public?
WTF are the planning now?
Pay attention because they have no problem killing innocent people… Maybe they’re going to stage an event?
News outlets have been peddling the same story about Russia for 4 years. The missiles haven’t stopped.
US stockpiles bare?
Lmao. This is misinformation at its finest.
As stupid as the heads of the US government are I REALLY doubt they’re out of munitions less than a week into a war that THEY started
