Hey, good morning, Steve.
So what the U.S.
is running out of are precision missiles like PRISMS and ATAKMS, according to a U.S.
official familiar with the data who was not authorized to speak publicly.
And Steve, just to talk you through those acronyms a bit, ATAKMS stands for the Army Tactical Missile System.
The other missile, the PRISMS, stands for Precision Strike Missile.
These are all offensive weapons, which can be fired from hundreds of miles away, and they play an important role in protecting U.S.
service members, since it means you don't have to send an American pilot, for example, too close to an enemy target.
Well, it's all classified.
The Pentagon doesn't give out the numbers of missiles that have been used.
We do know that there have been more than 15,000 Iranian targets hit during this war, but many of those have been in the massive U.S.
airstrikes that the U.S.
was carrying out earlier.
Now, we should note that many senior military officials and analysts believe that the U.S.
does have sufficient supply of offensive weapons for now, despite those shortages I just mentioned.
One of the concerns with running low on these precision missiles is that it takes years to replenish them.
So a shortage leaves the U.S.
vulnerable in future conflicts, too, particularly if China decides to attack Taiwan in the coming years.
Right.
So that is a key question.
