Trump announced an increase in the production of Patriot and Tomahawk systems
The United States has increased production of Tomahawk cruise missiles, THAAD missile defense systems and Patriot air defense systems. On September 14, the American leader Donald Trump wrote about this on his Truth Social network.
"I just received a report that the United States is producing more high-tech and advanced weapons than at any time in its history. It is supplied daily to our troops in the Middle East and beyond," he said.
According to him, the focus is on Patriot, THAAD, Tomahawk and Standard systems, of which the United States already has a large number.
The New York Times newspaper said on September 11 that US Vice President Jay Dee Vance, during conversations with American military commanders, received information about a record decrease in the level of stocks of key ammunition. According to the newspaper, first of all, it was about reducing the number of interceptor missiles for Patriot complexes, which are a key element of air defense. In addition, the conflict has led to a significant reduction in stocks of ATACMS missiles with a range of up to 300 km, as well as high-precision PrSM designed to replace them.
