Frontline Burden: US Fuels Israel’s Missile Defense, Pentagon Findings

The Washington Post reports that amid tension with Iran, the U.S. military expended far more advanced interceptors to defend Israel than Israel did with its own systems, depleting U.S. stocks (over 200 THAAD interceptors versus Israel’s fewer Arrow interceptors and about 90 David’s Sling). The data raise concerns about U.S. military readiness and global commitments, particularly in Asia, as Washington bears the brunt of Israel’s missile-defense needs.
