Asian allies build up missile production as US stockpile dwindles

Australia has successfully test-fired its first domestically manufactured Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) missiles at the Woomera Range Complex on April 9, according to the Australian Department of Defence. This development comes amid concerns over the declining U.S. stockpile of missiles, prompting Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to increase their reliance on local manufacturing capabilities. The article highlights the strategic shift by these Asian allies toward self-sufficiency in missile production, driven by uncertainty regarding future U.S. military support.
