Two senior U.S. officials tell NBC News that military commanders are allowing some Iranian missiles and attack drones to get through air defenses amid an effort to preserve the Pentagon’s shrinking supply of missiles to shoot them down. NBC News’ Courtney Kube reports.
It’s kinda wild that this is happening like lol what good is the fucking government if they can’t just tell people to make more missiles
To clarify i think it’s good that the u.s. is falling apart like this, i just find the incompetence staggering. I feel like “don’t get into a shooting war if you don’t have enough bullets” is like grade school military theory
I am sure the USA gov will make an attempt to push for restocking, which will require more bodies to build them. Which they can then spin as “job creation” and any new factories needed as “bringing back manufacturing” or something. The guidance systems and computers that go into the “dumb” parts of the bombs and missiles will still be the choke point.

You can always trade soldiers for bullets.
