There’s never going to be enough missiles for the number of military conflicts going on.
US officials have informed some European ‘allies’ – including the UK, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Norway – that some contracted weapons deliveries will be delayed as the Iran war continues to deplete weapons stocks.
The Pentagon has warned the countries to expect serious delays for several missile systems.
Financial Times reported:
“The delays are partly driven by acute concerns about US inventory levels given the high volume of weapons used in the past two months in Iran. The American military has already been forced to move weapons from other regions, including the Indo-Pacific, to make up for the shortfalls.
But the Iran war has also deepened concerns about whether the US has a sufficient stockpile of weapons to deter Beijing or defeat China in any future conflict over Taiwan.”
