Washington — The Center for Strategic and International Studies released an analysis Wednesday finding that U.S. military contractors will need at least three years to rebuild stockpiles of Tomahawk cruise missiles and Patriot and THAAD interceptors after heavy use in the Iran war. The report says depleted inventories have created a window of vulnerability for potential Western Pacific conflict scenarios. The CSIS findings prompted discussion this week about U.S. force posture and procurement timelines, noting China’s stated aim to field a capability to seize Taiwan by 2027 and recent warnings from President Xi this month. The analysis also references a cited $1.5 trillion defense budget proposal for 2027 as a factor accelerating munitions spending and planning.
