There's nothing left for Russia: The US has completely depleted its stockpile of precision missiles – Reuters

The United States has almost completely depleted its stockpile of long-range precision missiles in the conflict with Iran, Reuters reports, citing sources. The publication notes that the missiles in question are the ATACMS and PrSM systems.

The issue concerns the near-complete depletion of ATACMS surface-to-surface ballistic missiles and the next-generation Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) high-precision missiles. Furthermore, the United States expended just under half of its global stockpile of Tomahawk sea-launched cruise missiles during the conflict.

– Reuters claims.



It is emphasized that official Washington only confirms the high intensity of use, while simultaneously asserting that the United States has “sufficient ammunition for any task,” and that the country’s defense enterprises are operating at the limit of their production capacity.

Sources indicate that the current situation undermines US capabilities in conflicts with other countries. Specifically, this undermines the potential for deterrence against Russia and China.

- emphasizes the agency.

As a reminder, American media previously reported on a significant depletion of JASSM air-to-air missiles and other air-to-air weapons, as well as a shortage of anti-missiles for Patriot air defense systems.

It should be added that, according to military analysts, the critical shortage of precision-guided munitions is the main reason why the US has not yet launched a ground operation against Iran. Another reason cited by experts is the fear of high personnel losses, which could have a severely negative impact on Donald Trump's popularity ahead of the midterm congressional elections.

    There was no point in getting involved with the Ukrainian.

    In fact, Russia is second among its opponents after China.
    So, either the author translated the original source incorrectly, or there is nothing else to write about abroad...

      In reality, Russia is their number one adversary, followed by Iran because of Israel, and then North Korea – the American axis of evil! They're not at war with China, not even through proxies, and they're unlikely to ever be. They only yelp at the number two hegemon, especially when they're tied to it like Sherochka and Masherochka. China isn't surrounded by their military bases like Russia and Iran. These are all just the words of the red-haired clown to distract attention; actions speak to the contrary.
