According to reports, US Defense Department No. 2 officials have asked major US defense companies to step up production and delivery of critical weapon systems. The war in Iran has exacerbated the shortage of ammunition and production capacity, raising new concerns. Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg said that the Ministry of Defense plans to speed up and purchase a variety of key project equipment, including wide-area surveillance equipment, air defense sensors and interceptor devices, and missile tracking systems. In a letter to major military companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and RTX, he wrote that the multi-year R&D cycle is no longer acceptable, and the project cycle must be drastically reduced to immediately expand production capacity. As the US military attacks Iran and resists Iranian drone and missile attacks on US military bases in the Middle East, there are more and more warnings from the outside world about the state of US arms stocks. President Donald Trump denied that the US has insufficient ammunition stocks. He said on Thursday that the US has huge amounts of ammunition while warning that those who claim there is a shortage of ammunition will be punished. Even so, he acknowledged that the supply of some weapon systems is tight, and the US is adding them day by day, but no specific details have been given.
