(MENAFN) Ammo scarcities laid bare by the Ukraine war have provoked some United States think-tanks to look in stores in the West only to find them empty, a news agency declared on Wednesday. The army industry of NATO associates is unable to provide assistance, either.
A Center for Strategic as well as International Studies (CSIS) maneuvers of a war with China over Taiwan presented that the United States had only about 450 extended-range anti-boat arms, sufficient for nearly a week.
An additional think tank, the Center for New American Security (CNAS), stated that the current arms stock is “too small to blunt an initial invasion, let alone prevail in a protracted conflict against China.” To frighten and overthrow Beijing, the Pentagon “needs large stockpiles of stand-off missiles, maritime strike weapons, and layered air and missile defenses,” CNAS decided.
