U.S. rebuilding weapons stockpile could delay orders from allies
The U.S. has been the top weapons supplier in the world for years, with arms exports going to nearly 100 countries over the past five years.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies assesses that transfers to Ukraine have been a minor factor in shrinking U.S. inventories except for the Patriot Missile Defense System.
CSIS estimates the U.S. had around 2,200 Patriot missiles in its inventory before Russia's war in Ukraine began in 2022.
