The U.S. military's advanced weapon inventory is in short supply and needs three years to recover

The U.S. government oversight agency released a report acknowledging a shortage in the inventory of advanced weapons for the U.S. military, and disclosed the damage to military aircraft, military bases, and diplomatic facilities in the Middle East.

The report pointed out that the war has led to a "strategic inventory shortage," exposing bottlenecks in the military-industrial capacity for ammunition replenishment. Experts estimate that it may take the U.S. military about three years to restore inventory to pre-war levels.
