🇺🇸🇮🇷️ - NEW: The US may have used about half of its Tomahawk inventory and up to two-thirds of its Patriot interceptors during the war with Iran, WSJ reports.

From February 28 to mid-July, US forces reportedly deployed about 1,700 Patriot interceptors, more than 200 THAAD missiles, and about 150 conventional ship-launched missiles.

American manufacturers are already trying to sharply increase missile production, but a significant expansion of capacity is only expected in a few years. As a result, recovering depleted cartridges on this scale can take years.
