The U.S. Army has used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, according to three people familiar with the data, raising concerns about the military’s readiness for future conflicts.
The missiles are principally the Army’s surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The U.S. has used “virtually all” of these weapons, according to two of the sources.
The degree to which the military is running out of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles has not been previously reported.
The long-range munitions are an important part the military’s arsenal, allowing accurate strikes from a safe distance. U.S.-supplied ATACMS have played a key role in the war in Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to attack targets inside Russia. The PrSM is a newer, more advanced generation that will replace the ATACMS, which have a shorter range.
What do you think the goal of this propaganda would be? If it’s not true, and enemies of the US believe it is, that they attack isolated US bases on in other nations? To what benefit?
The scientists and experts in most things throughout most of the US government that had the spine and integrity to stand up to blatant bullshit, lies, and crimes were either fired or resigned. That includes high ranking military who would refuse illegal orders. What’s left is a mountain of the least capable and most corrupt willing to bend the knee and kiss the ass.
You genuinely think if Trump kept insisting on something this stupid they would refuse his orders? Or that Trump isn’t stupid enough to insist? Or that he takes heed to wise counsel?
