The U.S. has paused strikes against Iran to avoid depleting its weapon stockpiles, amid soaring costs—$37.5 billion spent on munitions this year. While Trump insists America’s arsenal is ample, top officials like Pete Hegseth are pleading for $87 billion to replenish critical systems like Tomahawks and THAAD, which could take years to replace. As the U.S. balances deterrence with readiness, allies like Ukraine face urgent shortages, especially for Patriots, whose production can’t keep up with demand. The nation now races to scale up manufacturing and rethink defense economics—all while managing global security stakes.
