The US has used “virtually all” of these weapons, according to two of the sources.The degree to which the military is running out of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles has not been previously reported.The long-range munitions – which cost more than $US1 million each – are an important part of the military’s arsenal, allowing accurate strikes from a safe distance. US-supplied ATACMS have played a key role in the war in Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to attack targets inside Russia. The PrSM is a newer, more advanced generation that will replace the ATACMS, which have a shorter range.The dramatic rundown in precision, long-range missiles means US President Donald Trump may have to rely more on riskier, piloted bombing missions if he relaunches large-scale attacks on Iran.Fetching latest articles
