U.S. forces have expanded roughly one-third of pre-conflict stocks of key precision-guided munitions, per ABC News and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Interceptors were most affected: THAAD spent about 80% of a 360-round stock (≈190–290 rounds); SM-3 used more than half of a 410-round stock (≈130–250 rounds); Patriot interceptors saw ~61% consumption (≈1,060–1,430 of 2,330 rounds). Long-range strike inventories also drew down: more than 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles and over 1,100 JASSM long-range air-launched cruise missiles were fired. Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) stocks are nearly depleted—of 90 on hand, about 40–70 were launched. Sources: ABC News, CSIS.
