Sen. Kelly on Missiles and Interceptors Fired Since the Start of the Iran War: It’s Shocking How Deep We Have Gone into These Magazines

‘The munitions are depleted’

EXCERPT:

KELLY: "Yes, Margaret, we — we have — we've been tracking it. A number of times, we've been briefed by the Pentagon on specific munitions. Actually, it's been pretty detailed on Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM- 3s, THAAD rounds, Patriot rounds, so those interceptor rounds to defend ourselves. And the numbers are -- I think it's fair to say it's shocking, the — how deep we have gone into these magazines because this president got our country into this without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline, and, because of that, we've expended a lot of munitions. And that means the American people are less safe. Whether it's a conflict in the western Pacific with China or somewhere else in the world, the munitions are depleted. You may have seen me ask the secretary of defense this question about how long it's going to take to replenish. We're talking about years."
