In the two weeks of the war with Iran, the United States has used up stocks of critical weapons that it had planned to use for years. This information was published in Financial Times, This raises concerns about the country's future ability to support military operations.
Rapid depletion of weapons stocks
According to the Financial Times, The United States has used up a significant part of its strategic weapons stockpile in the first two weeks of the war with Iran alone. These stockpiles were built up to ensure the country's defence capability for years to come, but now their balances are rapidly declining.
Highly placed sources note that the rate of weapon use is far higher than initial estimates, which threatens the possibility of prolonged hostilities without significant replenishment of stocks.
Implications for the US defence strategy
The depletion of critical weapons stockpiles is forcing the US military leadership to review strategies and look for new ways to ensure security. This may affect plans to modernise the army and purchase new types of equipment.
In addition, dependence on imports and production of new weapons may lead to delays in supply, which would negatively affect the operational capabilities of the armed forces.
Reaction of the international community
Information about the rapid use of US weapons stockpiles has caused concern among the country's allies and partners. Some experts believe that this could lead to increased tensions in the region and a greater risk of conflict escalation.
At the same time, international organisations are calling for a diplomatic settlement of the conflict to avoid further destabilisation and preserve peace in the world.
