The US military could need three years to restock its missile defenses, according to experts.
Since the war with Iran began, US forces have burned through their supply of ground-based air defense missiles, with up to 67% of Patriot missiles and 48% of THAAD interceptors used.

The depletion of stockpiles may force the US and its coalition partners to take more risks with interceptions, as there are no good alternatives to Patriot and THAAD for ballistic missile defense.
