[The U.S.’s delivery of key weapons to allies may be delayed for 5 years] September 20th, it is reported that the United States has warned its allies that due to the depletion of some of its weapons and ammunition stocks, the delivery of some key weapons may be delayed by up to five years. According to reports, Germany has asked the United States to speed up the delivery of Tomahawk cruise missiles and Typhon missile systems, but the manufacturer is unlikely to complete related orders within the next five years. According to the report, it is estimated that the United States used more than half of the "Patriot" missiles, one-third of the "Tomahawk" missiles, and nearly half of the "THAAD" anti-missile system interceptors in the war in Iran. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office released a report this month stating that since June 2025, the U.S. interceptor inventory has been consumed by one-half to two-thirds, and that even with increased production, it will take at least five years to rebuild the U.S. interceptor inventory.
