Pentagon officially admitted the existence of ammunition shortage, contradicting previous Trump administration statements. The acknowledgment comes in the context of the conflict with Iran, which has placed pressure on American military stockpiles.
Earlier in September, Trump had publicly stated that the United States had "practically unlimited quantities of ammunition". This statement now proves incompatible with the reality faced by American armed forces.
The Pentagon's admission represents a significant revision of the official narrative regarding US military capability. The situation highlights the logistical challenges faced by the country in continuously supporting its military operations in the Middle East.
