U.S. Weapons Shortage from Iran War Alarms Asian Allies Confronting China

The Pentagon has approximately 1,000 Patriot and THAAD missiles remaining, according to reports from Rzeczpospolita. This is due to the high rate of consumption during the war with Iran. China is reported to possess over 3,000 ballistic missiles, according to the same source. The U.S. weapons shortage has caused alarm among Asian allies of the United States, as they confront China's growing military capabilities. The Washington Post corroborates the concern over the U.S. weapons shortage, though it does not provide specific numbers.
