“ Athe cowards and traitors would like to say that the United States has little ammunition. It’s not true,” Donald Trump said in a brief message published on social media, something he had already said by speaking at the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
“ We have more ammunition than we could ever think of using, and we are currently manufacturing them at levels never seen before,” the President of the United States said.
Trump’s words appear one week after the Pentagon’s official control body released a special report on the war in Iran that highlights a cost of almost €29,000 million, along with “strategic deficits” in the ammunition inventory and “stranglements” in refueling them.
However, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Brad Cooper, said in mid-September that he is not concerned about a possible shortage of ammunition in the arsenals following the open conflict in the Middle East.
“I’m not at all worried. We are well armed and prepared for any contingency ", concluded.
The conflict had a significant impact on the United States arsenals, which passed from about 2,330 Patriot missile interceptors before the start of the war to between 759 and 827 on July 27, according to analysts from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
