The good news is this provides the incentive to increase the necessary production.
The military-industrial complex is pleased.
All authors cited plagiarized this from satan.
In before the fake news claims.
Many of those weapons are obsolete by today’s standards. It’s at least one way to use the inventory without the cost of decommissioning (ht marktwain on that latter point).
Nice Job Trump in using the NYT to prepare the Iranians to be destroyed. When Trump is bellowing about total destruction, then nothing will happen. When he is quiet, look out.
Omygosh! Wherever will we get more weapons!?
NYT: US is running out of weapons
NYT: Russia and Iran have infinite weapons and are not running out of them.
Missiles especially have a best-by. The solid fuel degrades over time. You either fire them before that date or you send them back to the factory to be rebuilt or disposed of. Each year the Pentagon decides how many missiles of what type it wants in inventory. If it overbuilds, it loses money and can’t buy the same amount the next year. It’s a delicate balance. Fortunately, the war in Ukraine has forced the government to invest in infrastructure to rapidly replace what we need. We’re in better shape now than at any time since the “peace dividend.”
Have we run down the inventory? Well, certain types used by some units deployed near Iran. And, actually, this is a good thing. Because it has forced that ramp-up in infrastructure to occur even faster. Of all the nothingburgers in the media, this is the biggest one.
We are doomed, some analysts say !
This is the story that Trump called false and “Treasonous”, and pledged to find the culprits and have them jailed.

Ukraine war 4 1/2 years of depleting
Iran bombings 5 1/2 months of depleting
The bad news, we relied on very expensive weapon systems. Others are using much lower cost and Huge numbers of weapons sent to attack. Understand may not be as affective but will burn up an enemy’s defenses quickly. Laser shoot down technology will be the game changer.

Russia’s invasion triggered that years ago and it is well on its way, not just here but in Europe and the Pacific countries, the plants were built or remodeled, and the budgets increased, and more long lasting dependable contracts to encourage industry to make more and keep making more, written.
And Russias stockpile had increased the past 4 years as per the NYSlimes
ANOTHER LEAKER???
A military has what it has and battle plans should be based on that, perhaps the bigger error is basing war plans on one single form of ammo rather than making your war plans based on a complete picture of the entire military available to you and how to use it as a whole.
I said back in May that Iran just needs to wait this out until November. It’s now August with the US no closer to any kind of victory. All we’ver accomplished is to blow some stuff up. Trump was misled that civilians would be able to overthrow the Mullahs, instead they were just slaughtered and now have no hope of ever ridding themselves of the Iranian caliphate.
Iran has but a mere 12 weeks to just hold out exactly as they have been doing, and in November when the Rats sweep control of the government, they will be free and clear, and hell the Rats will probably even pay Iran reparations after impeaching Trump.
Trump destroyed his presidency for a fake nuclear threat, instead of focusing on this country and mass deportations. The future of this country is infinity Mexicans, and Islamic terror attacks.
“privately” = typical anonymous anti-Trump bullshit fake “news” from NYT ...
Hey, Iran leaders! Please read the NYT for the latest inside top secret info on the USA running out of ammo! Trust the NYT! Read all about it!!
