Trump has claimed US munitions supplies are "virtually unlimited" and said reporting otherwise is "fake news". But the independent watchdog said the US spent more than $22 billion on munitions from February through June, leading to "strategic inventory shortfalls". The new report provides a first-of-its-kind, independent glimpse into US weapons stockpiles, data that is typically classified. Previous estimates have painted a dire picture of the US shortages. A late July estimate from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, found that stocks of some interceptors - such as the Patriot missile and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD - were significantly depleted, in some cases by more than half.
