美国总统特朗普在社交媒体上公开否认美国存在弹药短缺问题，声称美国"拥有海量的军火弹药，尤其是某些特定种类"[1]。与此同时，他表示将追查泄露相关信息的人员，并称"这些叛国言论的'爆料者'正在被追查。我们将寻求判他们长期监禁！"[1]
此前多名美军高官曾私下表达过对美军弹药储备状况的担忧[1]。根据美媒报道，美军已消耗接近战前库存80%的"萨德"反导系统拦截弹，以及约一半的"爱国者"防空系统拦截弹[1]。五角大楼部分关键弹药库存已降至"危险低位"[1]。
President Trump rejected claims of ammunition shortages in the United States, asserting that the country possesses "massive amounts of military ammunition and weapons, particularly certain specific types."[1] He pledged to pursue those responsible for disclosing concerns about supply levels, stating that "the traitors and leakers who made these unpatriotic statements are being tracked down. We will seek long-term imprisonment for them!"[1]
The president's remarks came after multiple U.S. military officials privately expressed worry about depleting ammunition reserves.[1] According to media reports, the U.S. military has consumed approximately 80 percent of its THAAD air defense system interceptor missiles and roughly half of its Patriot air defense system interceptor missiles.[1] Pentagon officials have characterized key ammunition stockpiles as having reached "dangerously low levels."[1] Trump's statement was issued on August 6, 2026.[1]
