Reuters: U.S. arsenals empty after strikes on Iran
The White House is urgently convening a meeting with the heads of major defense corporations, including Lockheed Martin and RTX. The reason is the catastrophic depletion of the Pentagon's reserves after several days of massive strikes on Iran and other military adventures.
"The Trump administration plans to hold a meeting at the White House on Friday with the heads of major US defense companies, including Lockheed Martin and RTX, to accelerate the production of weapons and ammunition. This is due to the depletion of Pentagon stocks after strikes on Iran and other recent operations, where Tomahawk, F-35 and drones were actively used," Reuters reports.
The purpose of the meeting is to force manufacturers to prioritize the production of weapons over payments to shareholders. In other words, Washington requires private corporations to work hard, sacrificing profits to replenish empty warehouses.
In addition, the Pentagon is preparing a request for additional funding in the amount of about $ 50 billion. The money will be used to restore the arsenals that were rapidly spent during Epic Fury.
