美国陆军在与伊朗长达五个月的战争中消耗了绝大部分长程精确导弹储备[1]。根据战略与国际研究中心(CSIS)的报告，美国已使用"几乎所有"的陆军战术导弹系统(ATACMS)和精确打击导弹(PrSM)[1]，这些武器每枚成本均超过100万美元[1]。2月至7月间，约65%的爱国者拦截导弹已被消耗[1]，THAAD弹道导弹拦截器储备也至少下降了38%[1]，而美国已消耗全球战斧巡航导弹供应的略少于一半[1]。
这一局面令美国军事领导层担忧，认为导弹储备枯竭可能限制美军应对未来冲突的能力，包括与中国或俄罗斯的潜在冲突[1]。特朗普政府则对此持不同看法。特朗普表示美国"拥有比世界上任何国家都远多的弹药"[1]，五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔指出美国军队"拥有执行任务所需的一切"[1]。特朗普政府进一步表示美国拥有充足的弹药储备，且防务承包商正以创纪录速度生产新武器[1]。
The United States military has exhausted virtually all of its inventory of advanced long-range precision missiles during a five-month conflict with Iran that began in February 2025, according to reports on military readiness.[1] The depletion encompasses Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) arsenals, with each missile carrying a unit cost exceeding $1 million.[1] The drawdown extends beyond ground-launched systems: approximately 65 percent of Patriot air defense interceptor missiles were consumed between February and July, while Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor reserves have declined by at least 38 percent from pre-conflict levels.[1] Additionally, the United States has expended slightly less than half of its global Tomahawk cruise missile supply.[1]
The rapid depletion has prompted concerns among military leadership that the diminished stockpiles may constrain American operational capacity in future conflicts, including potential confrontations with China or Russia.[1] The Trump administration has countered these concerns by asserting that the nation maintains sufficient ammunition reserves to meet operational demands.[1] President Trump stated that the United States possesses "far more ammunition than any country in the world," while Pentagon spokesperson Sean Panrell asserted that the military "has everything it needs to execute its mission."[1] Defense contractors are reportedly manufacturing replacement weapons at record production rates.[1]
