Alarming missile report draws forceful response from Trump as Iran war tests America’s arsenal
A report says the Army has burned through virtually all ATACMS and PrSM stocks during the Iran conflict, raising fears about future crises.
Source excerpt
The Trump administration is rejecting concerns that the war with Iran has left the U.S. low on some of its most advanced long-range missiles, after a report found the Army burned through "virtually all" of its stocks of two of its primary long-range precision weapons.
The Army has used "virtually all" of its inventories of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) during the five-month conflict with Iran, Reuters, citing people familiar with internal U.S. military data, reported Tuesday.
Officials fear the drawdown could complicate the military's ability to respond to future crises involving adversaries such as China and Russia, according to the report.
The White House disputed any suggestion the U.S. military lacks the weapons needed to carry out its missions.
