Precision-Strike Ammunition Shortage Already Threatening US-Israel Capability

Precision-Strike Ammunition Shortage Already Threatening US-Israel Capability The US and Israel are already running low on ammunition after less than 20 days of conflict. There’s no point even talking about conquering Hormuz in this scenario. Yesterday I wrote about the ammunition shortage and its cost, which can already be estimated at $22–30 billion just in munitions. This war has exposed American vulnerabilities that much of the world was previously unaware of. It shatters long-held dogmas and destroys decades of reputational work the country has built in power projection. This problem doesn’t affect only the US, the entire West has degraded its military capabilities, no matter how much is spent. It’s a model geared toward profit rather than security. I’ve been warning for a long time that reforms are needed in this sector.

US supplies of key long-range and defensive munitions were already running low before the latest strikes on Iran, a constraint that may force Washington to scale back its role in the conflict. bloomberg.com/news/articles/
