US Missile Supplies Strained by Wars in Ukraine and Israel

Two wars, one arsenal: Ukraine or Israel — who gets America's missiles when supplies run short?

Defence analysts warn the issue is not just the quantity of weapons today but the speed at which industry can regenerate what has been used. A single week of heavy combat in either theatre can consume months of production output for certain precision munitions and interceptors. This has transformed a temporary logistical challenge into a broader strategic concern.
