The war in Iran has severely dented the US military’s weapons stockpile. As per reports, the US has seen its Patriot and THAAD interceptor stockpiles decline along with attacking weapons like Tomahawk and ATACMS. The bigger challenge for US President Donald Trump and his administration is replacing weapons faster than they are being used. Trump has announced that new factories are being setup for Patriot missiles and Tomahawks. Meanwhile, US military experts have raised alarm bells about Russia and China ramping up their missile production. As per reports, Russia has increased the production of the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile, the Oniks anti-ship missile and the Iskander-M ballistic missile. Simultaneously, China has increased its missile production rate and is now 5 to 6 times ahead of the US. Beijing has also more than doubled its nuclear stockpile since 2020. US military experts say if the Iran war continues, Russia and China will have a clear military edge if a conflict arises with the US. Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost.
