Pentagonul cere industriei de apărare din SUA să accelereze producția de arme, pe fondul scăderii stocurilor

The Pentagon is urging U.S. defense companies to rapidly increase weapon production due to significant ammunition shortages caused by the conflict with Iran. This request comes amid tensions as the Trump administration publicly downplays concerns about U.S. ammunition reserves. Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg has instructed defense industry leaders to submit plans for faster deliveries and increased production within 21 days. The U.S. military's stock of essential interceptors has drastically decreased, raising concerns about defense capabilities. The push for increased production coincides with ongoing funding challenges in Congress and aims to bolster U.S. military readiness amid multiple strategic challenges.
