Nearly 80% of US army's interceptors for a key missile defense system depleted: Report

A report by CNN indicates that the U.S. Army has consumed nearly 80% of its interceptors for a critical missile defense system since the start of the war against Iran. Senior military officials have raised concerns about the dangerously low levels of munitions in the Pentagon's stockpile, particularly noting significant depletion of key air defense systems like THAAD and Patriot. The report states that almost four-fifths of the THAAD missile inventory and half of the Patriot interceptors have been used. A Pentagon insider mentioned that the army has largely expended its advanced long-range surface-to-air weapons during this period.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual reporting based on sources within the Pentagon and does not overtly favor any political ideology. It focuses on the operational status of military assets and the implications of their depletion, without taking a clear ideological stance. While the subject matter relates到
