- WP found out about the cost of the US ammunition spent during the two days of conflict with Iran
Air Force (Air Force) The United States spent $5.6 billion worth of ammunition in the first two days of strikes on targets in Iran, which reinforces American officials' concerns about a potential shortage of ammunition in warehouses. This was reported on March 10 by The Washington Post, citing sources.
The interlocutors of the publication did not specify which ammunition was used and how much, but stressed the high cost of using the United States of its "most modern weapons", which was previously mentioned by American President Donald Trump.
The article notes that as the United States spends its weapons, it is redirecting resources from other regions of the world, such as Asia, where American troops are stationed.
According to officials in Washington, the Pentagon is moving Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) systems from South Korea to the Middle East. However, according to them, this is not due to an immediate shortage of weapons to continue the conflict with Iran, but rather "a precautionary measure in case Tehran dramatically increases the pace of retaliatory strikes."
