THE END OF ALL EMPIRES BEGAN WHEN THEY START DENYING THEIR LIMITATIONS.

WITH THE CURRENT LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR USA OR ANY EMPIRE TO ENGAGED IN MULTIPLE WARFARE AROUND THE GLOBE SIMULTANEOUSLY.

IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS, MOST COUNTRIES WILL SUCCESSFUL HUMILIATE AND CHASED AMERICA AWAY FROM THEIR REGION WITH CHEAP DRONES AND MISSILES.
IT IS INEVITABLE.

Yeah, like the war was supposed to last for two weeks with Iran's military totally destroyed. Who believes what this administration says? Clowns.

So you actually believed that Iran has depleted America's weapons? Ignorance is a disease.

Hegseth is lying. The US is dangerously short of ATACMS, PrSM and PAC-3 missiles. The US naval commander tasked with protecting the skies over Israel, last week sounded a warning and said he was short of interceptors and would have to choose between protecting his ships and men and protecting Israel. The naval commander had no reason to lie.

Secondly, US forces in the middle east were forced to begin effecting a triage of sorts. Choosing which Iranian missile they'll allow to hit and the missiles they'll intercept. Even they realised that sending two or more patriot missiles to try bringing down one Iranian ballistic missile, sometimes unsuccessfully, isn't sustainable.

Thirdly, this war has opened the eyes of everyone with the faintest interest in military technology and strategy. Ballistic missiles will always be produced faster than interceptors can. Russia has been pounding Kyiv successfully these past few days because Ukraine has run out of patriot missiles and the US have none available to give them.

Leaks emanating from the pentagon indicate that the US currently has less than 1000 PAC-3 (patriot) missiles in its inventory. There is no way the US can put up a defence of Taiwan and Europe should either China or Russia make interesting moves.

For those who don't know, it takes as much as 2 years to produce a patriot missile and current US production levels can only make roughly 60 missiles available per month.

Everything I have said above is what can easily be verified.
SEEM YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF THEIR I VENTORY

The bigger issue may not be whether the US is completely running out of missiles, but whether expensive interceptors can be produced fast enough to replace what is being used.

Every sensible person doesn't need to be told this.....how can a top arm producing and exporting country like US run low on ammunition just because of this war that hasn't even lasted a year?. grin grin cheesy....that was how we kept on hearing how Russia ran out of weapons just few months into their conflict with Ukraine but till today they're still firing at will....some propagandas are too dvmb seriously.
US is not the top global arms producer by volume .

Russia alone far outproduce the US and entire NATO.

If you talk of overinflated wunderwaffen, then give it to the US.

Russia just unveiled a very cheap version of the US Tomahawk missile system that is going for about $150k compared to $2ml that the US military industrial complex charges for one Tomahawk missile.

As per drones, the US is nowhere near both China, Russia and Iran in drone production.

The Iranian Sahaed drone that runs on a lawnmower engine cost under $15k. China is building their own arsenal based on this same model at far lower cost. The US MIC will probably charge no less than $300k per unit.

The US MIC is garbage .

The US already spent a large part of its stockpile fighting Russia through Ukraine only for them to allow themselves to be dragged into Iranian war.

You are such an irritant.

Hegseth the lying drunkard ex corporal with Nazi tattoos who was picked up from FOX NEWS panel by Trump to be "defense secretary" is the person you're believing?

You people are so lost.

Sure, America has all the weapons, so why can't they beat Iran after 6 months of fighting them?

How will the US, ghe largest producers of weaponry in the world run out of stockpiles?

This is a country that exports weapons to other countries fa!

I cat blame CNN. This is a news station which their anchors cried on live TV when Donald Trump was announced as president.

And, of course, they know their audience.
CNN told you the truth for the first time and you are wailing upandan

It's you that's fooling urself. How can the Us runs out of ammunition when they're not fighting world war. So just striking targets inside Iran will now translate to low ammunition. Use ur brain. Even Israel that's been fighting Hamas and Iran is not running on weapon.

SHUT UP AND USE YOUR BRAIN.

THE SPECIFIC WEAPONS AMERICA NEEDS TO FIGHT ITS COWARDLY WAR FROM THE SKY, IE LONG RANGE MISSILES, ARE DEPLETED AND CANNOT BE REPLACED FAST ENOUGH TO MEET THEIR WAR OBJECTIVES.

THEY CANNOT BEAT IRAN OR THEY WOULD HAVE DONE SO MONTHS AGO.

THIS IS MONTH 6.

ALL THEIR MILITARY BASES IN THE MIDDLE EAST SMASHED BY IRAN.

IRAN STILL CONTROLS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

WHY CAN'T AMERICA RESPOND?

DOES TRUMP LOOK LIKE A MAN WHO WOULD HESITATE TO BOMB THEM INTO SUBMISSION IF HE COULD??

DON'T GET REAL, YOU HEAR?
Re: Report On US Missile Stockpile Depletion Is False - US War Sec Hegseth by akinszz: 2:29pm On Aug 05
Try to dey lie small small now. Google is there for you to make Little research now. How can America make 50000 fighter jets a year when the world as whole do not have up to 30000 military planes. Fighter jets na biscuit. grin grin grin
voortrekker966:
A country that produced 50 thousand fighter planes within 3 years and armed both Europe, the USSR and China in the 1940s is a country leftists and jihadists are saying is running out of armour. Iran's jihadist tendencies must be checked. That is sure.

I consider those you mentioned up there as terrorists themselves. They run the online war propaganda on behalf of Iran because of their dangerous connection and belief system.

My point is that Hegseth is drunk again and lying as usual.

The US has severely deleted it's missile stockpile and is dangerously running low on conventional artillery rounds all courtesy of giving it all away to Israel to bomb Gaza and southern Lebanon and to Ukraine in their foolish war against Russia.

Iran has been obliterated. Their only hope now is the threat of the straits. The have no other hope as of now. No bargaining chip. Just fly drones to the straits and threaten global shipping. But that won't hold for long. The GREAT US military has taken over the straits and even Iran can't get their own ships across.

And yeah, I'll rather believe Hegseth than Iran that kept on shouting "were not negotiating with US" till at the end when we saw that they actually were negotiating and even begging by sending oil to the US😂😂😂😂
OK. You're free to believe whatever and whomever you want to.

But then, Iran has been obliterated, yet they still have ballistic missiles and drones to keep the strait closed. They have been obliterated, yet American bases in the gulf states are constantly evacuating. They have been obliterated, yet Ukraine had to directly enter the war to attack an Iranian cargo vessel. They have been obliterated, yet America is considering ground invasion (which definitely won't end well for them).

No one is saying Iran is winning the war, far from it. But the world is at their mercy, and the world is under more pressure to find a solution to the war than Iran is. You can only bully people for so long.

Very funny propaganda. If not madness how can you say US missile stockpiles is depleting, depleting to where? A country with first class technology in everything won't be able to massively build missiles?

THE SIMPLE FACT IS IF AMERICA WANTS TO WIN, THEY NEED TO DEPLOY AT LEAST 500,000 GROUND TROOPS IN IRAN AND FIGHT LIKE REAL MEN, ENDURE THOUSANDS OF US CASUALTIES AND HOPE THEY TRIUMPH AFTER LOSING PERHAPS 50,000 TROOPS.

THAT'S WHAT A REAL WAR LOOKS LIKE. NOT THESE COWARDLY CAMPAIGNS OF LAUNCHING MISSILES FROM AFAR.

COME DOWN AND FIGHT LIKE REAL MEN OR GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST, IS WHAT IRAN IS TELLING THEM.

He added that US weapons production is now being "supercharged" and the US is building more than ever before."
Building up more weapons while China is leaving them behind trailing in education, health, AI, technology, etc

While THAAD and Patriot stocks are lower, officials say the US still has other options including Navy SM-3/SM-6 missiles, cruise missiles, and a large arsenal. The issue is refill speed, not being "out of weapons."
You will ask for temporary ceasefire to allow you to resupply, we know the trick already
