特朗普政府驳斥了有关对伊朗战争导致美国部分先进远程导弹库存告急的担忧。此前有报道称，美军在两场主要远程精确武器的储备中已经“几乎耗尽”了库存。
据路透社援引熟悉美国军方内部数据的人士周二报道，在与伊朗长达五个月的冲突中，美军已经“几乎耗尽”了陆军战术导弹系统（ATACMS）和精确打击导弹（PrSM）的全部库存。报道称，官员们担忧此次弹药削减可能会复杂化军方应对未来包括中国和俄罗斯在内的对手引发的危机的能力。
白宫驳斥了任何关于美国军方缺乏执行任务所需武器的说法。

武器储备短缺影响中东地区军事战略
“我们拥有的弹药比世界上任何国家都多，也比我们实际需要的多得多——尽管狡猾的乔·拜登及其政府无偿向乌克兰和欧洲提供了前所未有的大量弹药，这是他们诸多愚蠢举措之一，”唐纳德·特朗普总统在提供给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。
“我们的国防企业目前正在生产比以往任何时候都多的弹药，同时还在以创纪录的水平扩建工厂和设备。在我们扩充库存的同时，我们将开始向欧洲和其他地区的盟友提供更多弹药。”
如果报道属实，这将凸显五角大楼长期以来的担忧：美国最精密的精确武器可能在数月内耗尽，但往往需要数年时间才能补充完毕。
路透社还报道称，这场冲突大幅减少了“爱国者”和“萨德”导弹拦截弹以及“战斧”巡航导弹的库存，尽管五角大楼一直坚称美国军方仍具备在全球开展行动所需的能力。

出于国家安全原因，美国精确的武器库存数据仍属机密。
五角大楼也对该报道予以反驳。美国军方首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔在一份声明中表示：“美国军队是世界上最强大的军队，拥有在总统选定的时间和地点执行任务所需的一切。我们已经在多个作战司令部开展了多次成功的行动，同时确保美国军方拥有雄厚的武器库能力，以保护我们的人民和利益。”
独立分析师也警告称，数月的战斗已经让美国的高端弹药库存承受了巨大压力。战略与国际研究中心上周估计，根据开源分析和预算数据，自伊朗冲突爆发以来，美国已经消耗了约65%的“爱国者”拦截弹库存，“萨德”拦截弹库存至少下降了38%。路透社周二报道称，其消息人士表示，这些数据与美国内部数据大体相符。

ATACMS和新型精确打击导弹是美军顶尖的远程精确打击武器之一，能够在不使飞行员面临危险的情况下打击数百英里外的目标。
军方规划人员认为，这些武器对防御严密的对手尤其有价值，因为它们可以在许多敌方防空系统的射程之外摧毁指挥中心、防空系统、后勤枢纽和其他高价值目标。
“爱国者”和“萨德”的任务则不同。它们并非用于打击敌方目标，而是通过拦截来袭弹道导弹来保卫美军和盟友，而“战斧”巡航导弹则让海军能够从舰艇和潜艇上实施远程打击。
该报道发布之际，五角大楼领导人越来越多地警告称，在应对与大国的长期高强度冲突的同时，补充战斗中消耗的先进武器是一项挑战。
这种担忧加速了将昂贵的精确导弹与数量更多的低成本“可损耗”无人机和自主系统相结合的努力，这些系统可以快速生产并大规模部署。官员们认为，这种方法将允许指挥官将价值百万美元的精确武器留给最高价值的目标，同时依靠更便宜的系统执行监视、电子战和许多打击任务。
不过，军方领导人警告称，廉价无人机无法替代ATACMS和PrSM等远程精确导弹。这些武器仍然是打击加固指挥中心、防空导弹阵地和其他许多廉价无人机目前无法抵达或无法存活的高度防御目标的必要手段。

特朗普已多次与美国最大国防承包商的高管会面，敦促他们加快生产、扩大制造能力，因为伊朗和乌克兰的冲突导致美国库存紧张。
在3月份的白宫会议之后，特朗普表示，这些公司已同意将他所称的“精致级武器”的产量提高三倍，其中包括一些美军最先进的导弹系统。在6月份的第二次会议和7月份的国防峰会上，总统敦促行业领导人加快进度，告诉高管们：“我们拥有世界上最好的质量，但我们需要更快一点的速度。”

这场生产推动也反映在政府的预算优先事项中。特朗普提出的1.5万亿美元国防预算将把无人机和自主系统的支出增加两倍以上，同时增加对弹药生产、导弹防御和“战斧”巡航导弹采购的投资。

The Trump administration is rejecting concerns that the war with Iran has left the U.S. low on some of its most advanced long-range missiles, after a report found the Army burned through “virtually all” of its stocks of two of its primary long-range precision weapons.
The Army has used “virtually all” of its inventories of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) during the five-month conflict with Iran, Reuters, citing people familiar with internal U.S. military data, reported Tuesday. Officials fear the drawdown could complicate the military’s ability to respond to future crises involving adversaries such as China and Russia, according to the report.
The White House disputed any suggestion the U.S. military lacks the weapons needed to carry out its missions.

WEAPONS STOCKPILE SHORTAGES IMPACTING MILITARY STRATEGY IN THE MIDEAST
“We have far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need, despite the fact that an unprecedented amount was given away by Crooked Joe Biden and the Biden Administration to Ukraine and Europe at no cost, in one of many of their extremely dumb moves,” President Donald Trump said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
“Our defense companies are, at this moment, making more munitions than they have ever made before, in addition to expanding their plants and equipment at record levels. And as we build up, we will start issuing more to our allies in Europe and elsewhere.”
If accurate, the report underscores a longstanding Pentagon concern: America’s most sophisticated precision weapons can be expended in months but often take years to replace.
Reuters also reported that the conflict significantly reduced inventories of Patriot and THAAD missile interceptors, along with Tomahawk cruise missiles, though the Pentagon has maintained the U.S. military retains the capabilities needed to carry out operations worldwide.

Exact U.S. weapons stockpile figures remain classified for national security reasons.
The Pentagon also pushed back on the reporting. “America’s military is the most powerful in the world and has everything it needs to execute at the time and place of the President’s choosing. We have executed multiple successful operations across combatant commands while ensuring the U.S. military possesses a deep arsenal of capabilities to protect our people and our interests,” chief spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.
Independent analysts have also warned that months of combat have strained U.S. inventories of high-end munitions. The Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated last week that the U.S. had expended roughly 65% of its Patriot interceptor stockpile and that inventories of THAAD interceptors had fallen by at least 38% since the start of the Iran conflict, based on open-source analysis and budget data. Reuters reported Tuesday that its sources said those figures broadly aligned with internal U.S. data.

ATACMS and the newer Precision Strike Missile are among the Army’s premier long-range precision strike weapons, capable of striking targets hundreds of miles away without putting pilots in harm’s way.

Military planners consider them particularly valuable against heavily defended adversaries because they can destroy command posts, air defenses, logistics hubs and other high-value targets from beyond many enemy air-defense systems.
Patriot and THAAD serve a different mission. Rather than striking enemy targets, they defend U.S. forces and allies by intercepting incoming ballistic missiles, while Tomahawk cruise missiles allow the Navy to conduct long-range strikes from ships and submarines.
The report comes as Pentagon leaders have increasingly warned about the challenge of sustaining prolonged, high-intensity conflicts against major powers while replenishing advanced weapons consumed in combat.
That concern has accelerated efforts to pair expensive precision missiles with far larger numbers of lower-cost, “attritable” drones and autonomous systems that can be produced rapidly and fielded at scale. Officials argue the approach would allow commanders to reserve million-dollar precision weapons for the highest-value targets while relying on less expensive systems for surveillance, electronic warfare and many strike missions.
Military leaders caution, however, that inexpensive drones are not a replacement for long-range precision missiles such as ATACMS and PrSM. Those weapons remain essential for striking hardened command centers, air-defense batteries and other heavily defended targets at distances many lower-cost drones cannot yet reach or survive.

Trump has met repeatedly with executives from the nation’s largest defense contractors, pressing them to accelerate production and expand manufacturing capacity as conflicts in Iran and Ukraine strain U.S. stockpiles.
Following a White House meeting in March, Trump said the companies had agreed to quadruple production of what he called “Exquisite Class Weaponry,” including some of the military’s most advanced missile systems. At a second meeting in June and again at a defense summit in July, the president urged industry leaders to move faster, telling executives, “We have the best quality in the world, but we need a little more speed.”

The production push is also reflected in the administration’s budget priorities. Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget would more than triple spending on drones and autonomous systems while boosting investment in munitions production, missile defense and Tomahawk cruise missile procurement.
