Navy using munitions at 'alarming’ speed to defend Israel
Fox News
Military officials addressed Senate concerns about depleting munitions after Israel defense operations, with Navy Secretary John Phelan calling production a "huge priority."
"The latest round of conflict in the Middle East utilized large amounts of munitions to defend Israel from Iranian strikes," Schatz said. "Does the Navy currently have all the SM-3s it needs for global threats?"
"We do, sir," Kilby responded, "but we are, to your point, using them at an alarming rate. As you know, those are missiles procured by the Missile Defense Agency and then delivered to the Navy for our use. And we are using them quite effectively in the defense of Israel."
