Fostul șef al Armatei SUA, demis de Pentagon, a avertizat înainte de războiul cu Iranul că deficitul de rachete va dura până în 2030

The U.S. Army faces a critical shortage of Patriot and THAAD interceptors, with recovery expected to last until 2030. This deficit has been exacerbated by arms deliveries to Ukraine and Israel, alongside limited production capabilities. General Randy George's assessment highlighted that the stock levels of these systems would remain strategically low for several years. The ongoing conflict with Iran has further strained resources, with significant usage of interceptors during operations. Despite claims of sufficient offensive munitions, the situation for air defense munitions remains dire. Major defense contractors are working to increase production capacity, but the overall recovery timeline remains lengthy due to historical spending decisions and operational demands.
