The United States has consumed about a third of its pre-war stockpile of critical precision-guided munitions in the Iran war. Among them, the inventory of interceptor missiles has been most affected: THAAD interceptor missiles have the highest consumption ratio, with about 80% used, that is, 190 to 290 missiles are consumed out of 360 in inventory; SM-3 interceptor missiles are consumed more than half, that is, 130 to 250 missiles are used out of 410 inventory; Patriot missiles have a consumption ratio of up to 61%. That is, 1060 to 1430 coins were consumed out of the 2330 coins in stock. At the same time, the U.S. long-range strike weapons inventory has also experienced large-scale depletion.
