Taiwan has voiced concerns about the possibility of U.S. missile stockpiles being exhausted due to developments in the Iran war. The fears suggest that the use of weapons and missiles in the Iranian conflict could reduce stockpiles deemed necessary for future scenarios.
Taiwan added that certain weapons and munitions used in the Gulf and the Iranian conflict will be pivotal in the early stages of any potential confrontation with China, making the availability of these capabilities a strategic security issue for them.
Taiwan warns that the depletion of specific weapon stockpiles may affect readiness and deterrent systems should regional tensions escalate, though it did not provide further details on the types of weapons or quantitative assessments of the stockpiles.
The report did not include more detailed information or official responses from the U.S. regarding the status of the stockpiles or replenishment plans, with the analysis focusing on the implications of any long-term depletion of missiles and munitions on regional security.
