With the details still0:11attributed to published outlets and0:13unnamed officials rather than a formal0:15Pentagon stockpile release. Per the0:16Times of Israel live blog entry0:18published at 21:47 UTC on August 8th,0:22the Defense Department requested the0:23surge and per that same source the0:25underlying meeting with industry chiefs0:27happened Wednesday. That followed an0:29earlier CBS News report from August 4th,0:31which cited US officials on the state of0:33inventories. Per the Times of Israel,0:35Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg0:37told industry chiefs they had a maximum0:39of 21 days to present plans to drive0:41significantly faster, more aggressive0:44delivery schedules and or increased0:45production for critical capabilities.0:48Per that source, Feinberg said0:49years-long development cycles are not0:51acceptable and demanded firms0:52dramatically accelerate schedules and0:54production capacity. Per CBS News citing0:57US officials, there are limited0:58inventories of Army tactical missile1:00systems and precision strike missiles.1:02And the most pressing concern involves1:04Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area1:06Defense Interceptors, which have been1:07used faster than industry can replace1:09them.1:10Per CBS, two sources added that1:11virtually all ATACMS and PRSM have been1:14used.

A timeline1:26that remains an initial think tank1:28[music] estimate and not an official1:30Pentagon figure. The extent of depletion1:32is contested and remains initial and1:34disputed. [music]1:35Per the Middle East I live blog,1:36Secretary of War Pete Hoekstra rejected1:38claims by Democratic Senator Mark Kelly1:40that American munitions stockpiles1:42[music] had been significantly depleted1:43by the war involving Iran. What remains1:46unconfirmed is any official Pentagon1:48confirmation of exact depletion levels,1:50whether the 21-day [music] submission of1:52plans will translate into accelerated1:53deliveries, independent verification of1:56the CSIS mid-2029 timeline and any1:59operational impact assessment leaving2:00potential effects on US readiness and2:02sustainability of air defense and2:04long-range precision munitions2:06contingent on continued consumption and2:08replenishment lag.Leer el artículoCronología de la historiaHeyDexEl vídeo breve ↗
