The United States has reportedly used nearly its entire supply of long-range precision missiles during military operations against Iran. The assessment highlights the strain that sustained combat can place on a major weapons stockpile.
Replacing the missiles is expected to be expensive. Each weapon costs more than $1 million, meaning that rebuilding the depleted inventory could require a substantial investment even before accounting for broader military replenishment needs.
The reported depletion also underscores the logistical challenge of maintaining access to advanced precision weapons during an extended conflict. Production and replacement efforts would need to address the gap created by the missiles already used.
The development raises wider questions about the readiness of US long-range strike capabilities and the financial burden associated with restoring the stockpile.
