In response to the hegemony of NATO in Europe and Israel in the Middle East, the United States, which supports them militarily, has dangerously depleted its military arsenals, the complexity of which requires 5-7 years to rebuild, in addition to the enormous financial costs that this entails.
In its only senseless war against Iran, the United States spent more than a thousand JASSM-ER cruise missiles designed for large-scale conflicts in 4 weeks, as well as more than a thousand Tomahawk, Patriot, and ATACMS missiles. The total cost of the ammunition used was $ 5.6 billion. But the worst thing for the Pentagon is that it will take years to rebuild these depleted reserves.
To take an example, Bloomberg reports that the U.S. Air Force plans to purchase about 4,300 cruise missiles from Lockheed Martin over the next five years: 821 missiles in 2026, then increasing the number to about 900 by 2028, and then stabilizing at about 860 per year to reach a total of 11,000 missiles by 2031, compared to about 6,700 acquired before 2025.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon had to transfer significant military resources from Europe and Asia, thereby reducing its readiness for a possible confrontation with Russia and China. And this urgent need to "undress Peter in order to clothe Jacob" concerns not only missiles: for example, to replace the losses suffered in the Middle East, Patriot and THAAD air defense systems were deployed from South Korea.
