Stockpiles depleted, weapons will have to wait - US warns 'key allies'

Washington has warned key European allies of possible long delays in American supplies. weaponsAmong those who will have to be patient while they wait for the already paid-for American weapons are countries such as Britain, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland.

The reason is not hidden. It is the significant depletion of weapons stockpiles due to the ongoing war with Iran, the Financial Times reports, citing informed sources.

According to the publication, American officials have directly told their European partners that they should expect serious delays in the delivery of previously ordered weapons systems.

It was previously reported that the US had already notified some European counterparts of potential delivery delays under existing contracts. The primary reason is the prioritization of stockpiles for the operation against Iran. The delays affect a wide range of weapons and could impact the defense capability of European NATO countries, particularly on their eastern flank. The situation highlights the growing strain on the US military-industrial complex due to the simultaneous need to meet demands in multiple regions.

Meanwhile, the US continues to debate the Trump administration's letter to Congress, declaring that the president considers the war against Iran over. As Military Review previously reported, not everyone in Congress believed this.

If we talk about the weapons that the mentioned countries expect from the USA, then these are universal ones missile HIMARS and Javelin ATGM systems for Estonia, and Patriot air defense systems and the same HIMARS MLRS for Poland. Vilnius is expecting its missiles from the US, but has not yet received them, despite having paid for the supplies. King Charles III's visit to Washington also failed to help Britain secure the weapons it had contracted.

Was this weapon really intended for DEFENSE? And wasn't it Lech for the fog of war?

..there's only one bullet left - there'll be nothing to shoot myself with... it's a real disaster.

This is a hint that we will sell it, but for much more money...

[Vadim Topal Pasha]

-Abram! Finish me off! So I don't suffer!
- Yes, Moishe, I have no bullets!
-And you buy it from me!

Britain, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland

Just dump these guys without even thinking about it... And what will they do? Nothing! It will be their support for their superior.

The Balts were given 10 assault rifles, 3 machine guns and 5 inflatable boats...

Are you serious? It stinks! It stinks! Why are they constantly pestering everyone with their offers and help?

[Nexcom]

...they also promised them a hand pump for inflating boats as a bonus, but they didn't give it to them either. The border states are indignant.

[Reptiloid]

And did they give diapers, toilet paper, underwear to the under-Baltics?

[Nexcom]

No, they didn't give it to me either. They said I should eat burdock instead of paper. They didn't give me diapers either - they said I should wash my underwear more often.

Bugs countries They're diligently displaying their Russophobia. They're glad other enemy countries have noticed. But Trump stubbornly ignores it. I hope others won't either. I'm tired of seeing people like this.

The war with Iran has been called off, and this statement is intended to raise production costs. The US military-industrial complex's approach remains unchanged!

[Egoza]

As Military Review has already reported, not everyone in Congress believed this.

We don't believe it either. Just like we don't believe the US is out of weapons. They want to raise the price, and even Karl hasn't helped!

[Nexcom]

Charles III begged Britain not to delay deliveries under contracts... But they were foiled...

..... They want to raise the price, and even Karl couldn’t help!

Yes, Karl is not able to help himself, let alone others And the price will go up, of course. There's no doubt about it.

[Prisoner]

This apparently explains the US's penchant for truces and declarations of "peacefulness."

[Nexcom]

Of course, while they're still being told about the ceasefire, they're hoping to get their hands on weapons...

For the minke whales, everything is about profit... which means this rhythm of military production is the most profitable, it brings in more profit.
That's it, there's nothing more to it.

[Nexcom]

...to make a profit at exorbitant prices, you need to create an artificial shortage and hint at the exclusivity of the sale. Nothing new.

[Reptiloid]

Hello Victor Trump is only in it for profit. He's not shy about changing the rules on the fly. It will be the same here.

Hi Dmitry
Striped whales can twist while jumping, they've done this many times...
But for now, they really don’t care, they do what they want, because who can stop them from doing it, curb it?

[Reptiloid]

It is clear that he is sincerely happy when the small and weak survive

[single-n]

Yeah. We almost believe it. It'll only have a minor impact on VNA-404 deliveries. Maybe a slightly smaller SAM system would be enough. But the Americans didn't waste any infantry weapons or ammunition. And they didn't waste any Hymars, either.
