Pentagon Orders 21-Day Sprint to Rebuild US Weapons Stockpiles Depleted by Iran War
🏭 PENTAGON — US stockpile math is now dictating strategy, not threats. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: 850 Tomahawks, 1,000 Patriot/THAAD interceptors, 1,300 tactical ballistic missiles expended — global Patriot inventory now below 827. A 21-day industry sprint won't close that gap; production lead times run 18-36 months. Tehran and Beijing can read these figures. Washington's deterrence threats are increasingly constrained by what it can actually reload.
