The Pentagon has problems with weapons stockpiles, so it had to pull some tricks to help Ukraine with air defense systems. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Forbes.
This is how he commented on the admiral’s statement Samuel Paparo that the US air defense arsenal is a concern given that conflicts in Ukraine and Israel have resulted in the deployment there of some weapons needed for the Indo-Pacific region.
“You know, since we provide security assistance to both Ukraine and Israel, there is no doubt that this has crossed some things off the list. But I remind you that every time we make a presidential cut, we take what we have in stock and supply it to the country in times of dire need, and then we replace those items with new and better ones. “But we still had to do something to meet the demand.” – said Austin, quoted by the presenter of Rossiya-1 Olga Skabeeva.
