A new Reuters report, circulated Tuesday, details that the US military used nearly all of its precision-guided ATACMS and PrSM missiles during the war in Iran. The report builds on earlier indications that the American stockpile of long-range missiles had been heavily depleted. As The Zioneer reported earlier today (Tue 13:03), a previous Reuters report stated that the US military had used "most of its long-range missile stockpiles." The new report provides specific weapon system names and quantifies the expenditure as "almost all." The ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) and PrSM (Precision Strike Missile) are the US Army's primary surface-to-surface precision munitions, used extensively in the campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. The scope of the depletion underscores the intensity of the multi-week American air campaign, which has involved dozens of strikes each night. The US military has not commented on the report.
