Is the US running out of air-defense missiles after giving them to Israel? Report says yes which could have serious repercussions

Whenever it comes to the United States defending its allies, the country tries giving its best to stand by any affected national in their belt, but there are reports that claim that their own defense systems may now be in a crisis as they have ended up using too many from their own arsenal in order to distribute it to Israel during their war on Gaza.

Is American air defense supplies in crisis?

A new report by the Wall Street Journal has revealed that US officials have launched more than hundred Standard missiles since the Hamas attack on Israeli soil in October. These weapons have also been used in order to defend Israel from relentless Iranian attacks, suggests the report. With this massive use of the American firepower, there is a shortage of supplies, with analysts and defense officials growing increasingly concerned that the US will end up making itself vulnerable if the supplies are not replenished at the earliest.

Meanwhile, the Department of Defense is mum about how many air defense missiles are left in their arsenal at this point, citing national security concerns.
