BREAKING: The US has warned its allies to expect delays of up to 5 years on key purchased weapons deliveries due to catastrophically exhausting its own stocks in the Iran war, with Germany told to wait 5 years for Tomahawks and Japan told its Tomahawks would be delayed by up to 2 years, per Bloomberg. The US has used more than half of its most advanced Patriot variants, a third of its Tomahawks, and almost half of its precision strike missiles and THAAD interceptors in Iran, with as much as two-thirds of the entire US missile defense interceptor inventory used up. Pentagon officials have told their own inspector general the firing rate "has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks." Ukraine's Patriot requests are being squeezed by the same shortage ahead of winter, and Eastern European deliveries have slipped since February 28.
