A CNN report reveals the US military has significantly depleted its missile arsenals during the recent fighting with Iran, raising concerns about readiness for another major conflict. Estimates suggest the US deployed approximately 45% of its precision-guided attack missiles, about 50% of its THAAD interceptors, nearly 50% of its Patriot surface-to-air missiles, and 20-30% of its Tomahawk cruise and long-range ballistic missiles. This depletion creates an immediate risk should a new conflict erupt soon, particularly against a major power like China. Replenishing these arsenals is estimated to take three to five years.
