There is an increasingly global demand for arms, and the US has a depleted U.S. stockpile of long-range weapons and rockets. This is driving a dramatic surge in the American defense industry’s production of rockets and missiles.
Key manufacturers are pushing millions into new and revamped production lines to speed the resupply of a U.S. arsenal that has run low after major transfers to Israel, Ukraine and other global hotspots.
The US still takes a lot of responsibility for other people’s wars and most don’t want that to continue.
The weapons were also used in the Red Sea which President Trump and Sec. Hegseth ended.
The ramped-up production in the U.S. comes as the Pentagon and Congress push companies to deliver finished products as soon as possible. They want them even if that means building without final, signed government contracts.
It is concerning that we ran through our weaponry on a useless war that never should have been, and we suddenly could be going into another war in Venezuela. Now, the American taxpayer has to resupply the arsenal. The Israelis paid for their weapons, but we fund everything in Ukraine.
Rockets are now being manufactured at six times the normal rate. Well, at least that will keep the military industrial complex placated for a while. We want to keep them happy.
We should stop sending our weapons where they do not help us.
I think some action against the cartels is justified. The cartels are very rich, powerful, globalist orgs, with banking and intel connections. They are not going to stop just because Trump wants them to. Force is required.
Don’t be ridiculous. Israel doesn’t pay for their weapons! We give them over $3 billion a year in NSA $.
Plus we gave them billions extra after 10/7, in the range of $20 billion. Israel extended into Lebanon and Syria since then.
The picture for this article that is shown on the home page is not a long range missile. It’s the Javelin anti-tank missile.
I know. Didn’t have time. I’ll look for a photo now. 🙂
I put a surface-to-air missile up. That’s an improvement!
Thanks! I worked on the development for the Javelin, so I know it well.
Thank you. I am impressed you worked on the javelin.
I spent a decade with Texas Instruments’ Defense Group when I got out of the Army and about half that time was working on the development and initial production of that missile. It was a fun time.
That was a better time, period. I’m impressed.
