Lockheed Expands Munitions Production with New Alabama Facility
Lockheed Martin is betting big on future demand, investing in a new 87,000-square-foot production facility in Troy, Alabama, that nearly doubles its current production space for THAAD interceptors. The move is a bold bet that production certainty will follow capital outlays, paving the way for a significant ramp-up in THAAD output.

U.S. Used More Interceptor Missiles Than Israel to Defend Against Iranian Attacks
The #US military has depleted much of its inventory of advanced missile-defense interceptors after expending far more high-end munitions defending #Israel amid hostilities with #Iran than #Israeli forces used themselves, according to #Defense dept.
The numbers are striking," said Kelly Grieco, a senior fellow at the #Stimson Center. "The United States absorbed most of the missile defense mission while Israel conserved its own magazines. Even if the operational logic was sound, the United States is left with roughly 200 #THAAD interceptors and a production line that can't keep pace with demand."
If hostilities resume against Iran and Lebanon, the U.S. military will expend an even greater share, because of a decision by the Israeli military to take some of its missile defense batteries offline and let American taxpayers shoulder the cost of defending Israel for invading and attempting to colonize #Lebanon and doing a genocide in #Gaza.
America first, y’all.🙄
opérationnel, il faut deux à trois ans incompressibles. La chimie des propergols, la qualification des composants, la montée en cadence des usines, ni l'urgence politique ni les milliards annoncés n'y changent quoi que ce soit.
On ne cherche pas les maillons faibles quand tout fonctionne : toute la filière repose sur une poignée de sites, parfois un seul. Le moteur qui propulse le Patriot propulse aussi le #THAAD, le #Tomahawk, le Standard Missile.

"Why is the U.S. redeploying its missiles that S. Korea paid a heavy price for?"
not only an unreliable strategic partner, but we just take your shit when we feel like it, after you give us zillions for it
Les États-Unis ont largement puisé dans ses stocks de missiles dans sa guerre contre l'Iran, sans pour autant enfreindre sa capacité à reprendre des frappes contre le régime des Mollahs. Mais un conflit contre la Chine pourrait mettre l'armée américaine en difficulté.
