Text: 🚨 REPORT: US BURNED THROUGH MAJOR SHARE OF LONG-RANGE MISSILES IN IRAN WAR According to defense reporting, the U.S. used a significant portion of its Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) and ATACMS inventory early in the war with Iran — with estimates suggesting nearly half the stockpile was expended in the first phase alone. The PrSM, one of America’s newest long-range strike weapons, was used in combat for the first time during this conflict. Now comes the next phase: replenishment. The Pentagon is already moving to ramp up production and refill inventories after the high burn rate exposed how quickly modern warfare drains even advanced arsenals. Modern war isn’t just about firepower. It’s about how fast you can reload. More from regnum.ru Pentagon will increase spending on PrSM missiles by 3.5 times. Following the operation in Iran, the US Department of War will increase spending on the purchase of Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) short-range ballistic missiles. This is stated in Pentagon budget documents. According to RIA Novosti, the United States intends to spend $1.92 billion on the procurement of PrSM missiles in fiscal year 2027, compared to only $546 million allocated for this purpose in the current fiscal year. Therefore, if the Pentagon's new request is met, funding will increase 3.5-fold. PrSM missiles were developed to replace the aging ATACMS systems. The munitions offer increased range and accuracy. In March, US forces used PrSM for the first time during an operation against Iran. The Pentagon plans to significantly increase defense procurement spending in fiscal year 2027. The Department of War's request for defense has grown to $413 billion, up from $223.8 billion in 2025. General defense spending has increased from $15 billion to $101 billion. Ground forces are expected to receive $60.5 billion, almost double last year's figure. Missile spending will increase by 360% to $36.6 billion. The Navy and Marine Corps are expected to receive a 45% increase (or $150 billion) in 2027. Shipbuilding funding will increase by 46%, and aircraft procurement will nearly double. The Air Force and Space Force expect to receive $101 billion. Space Force spending has increased by 344% to $19 billion. |
