US Missile Stockpiles Depleted Amid Potential China Conflict Concerns, CSIS Report Warns
A CSIS report published Tuesday reveals significant depletion of US naval and precision strike munitions, including SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors, Precision Strike Missiles for Himars launchers, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and JASSM stealth missiles. The think tank warns that insufficient pre-war inventories would constrain US forces in a potential conflict with a peer competitor like China, where munitions consumption would be unprecedented.
