Concern in the Pentagon; US ammo to attack Yemen

US military officials say the Pentagon may have to use its weapons reserves in Asia for shortcomings in West Asia.

The New York Times reports that US Congress officials say US military commanders planning a possible clash with China are more concerned that the Pentagon will soon have to move long-range weapons from the Asian-Pacific Reserves to West Asia.

The decision is being investigated because the US uses a large amount of ammunition in the campaign of Yemeni attacks on the orders of US President Donald Trump.

According to officials, US readiness in the Pacific region has also been affected by the sending of warriors and fighters to the West Asian region since the beginning of the Gaza war in October, with Yemen’s Ansarullah retaliatory attacks against Zionist -related ships in the Red Sea and Gulf.

Honorable US Army Status in the Red Sea

US forces based on ships and planes are operating with “high operational speeds”, a situation that the army describes very high, the New York Times wrote. Under these overwhelming conditions, even initial equipment repairs have become a challenge.

Several senior Trump administration officials, including Defense Minister Pete Hegst and Deputy Minister of Defense Alburg Kulbi, said the United States should prioritize its forces in the Asia-Pacific region to make a priority for China, which is rapidly expanding its military capabilities and arsenal.

Officials have argued that US weapons support for Ukraine in the war with Russia and decades of military mission in West Asia and Afghanistan have removed important resources from Asia.

According to the report, the United States will definitely allocate more military resources to the West Asian region in the event of any possible military conflict between Iran and the Zionist regime, but the army is struggling with problems providing resources during the Yemeni bombardment with the aim of weakening Ansarullah.

The New York Times pointed out that a report last week in Yemen is a much larger air strike campaign that the Pentagon has publicly announced. US officials have said that in the first three weeks, about $ 5 million was consumed. Given the operating costs and employees, this figure is currently much more than $ 1 billion.

Incorporate Command concern of the transfer of weapons from the area to West Asia

The newspaper went on to refer to details of sending equipment and weapons to the West Asian region: A senior US Department of Defense official said to congressional assistants that the Navy and the Indo -Pacific Command (between the Indian Ocean to slow consumption) were concerned.

The overall reserves of the Navy were significantly lower than the goals, even before the former US President Joe Biden had ordered the attack on Yemen’s Ansarullah positions to counter their attacks in the Red Sea.

A senior defense official told Gangareh assistants that the Pentagon is currently incurred by “the risk of real operational problems” in the event of any conflict in Asia.

In response to questions about the possibility of damaging US war plans in the Pacific due to a shortage of ammunition, Matthew Comer, a spokesman for Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of the US Army Indian Army, in response to questions about the possibility of damaging US war plans in the Pacific due to a shortage of ammunition.

He said: “The US Armed Forces, while providing flexible options for deterrence to protect US national interests in all combat commands, maintains ready, empowered and deadly forces in the IndyPasific area to provide national defense and respond to any emergency.”

During his trip to Asia two weeks ago, the US Secretary of Defense tried to assure US allies that the United States is committed to deterrence in China’s “threats” in the region.

Pitt Hegst, in Manila, the Philippine capital, said the Trump administration has “really unprecedentedly turned to the area and will prioritize it. Today in the Philippines. Tomorrow in Japan. Australia, South Korea and other countries will also be included in this part of the world. “We will create the necessary deterrence to prevent the war.”

Important weapons that are essential for deterrence for China

US officials say long-range weapons used in Yemeni air strikes, including Tom Hawk’s Cruise missiles, a type of bomb called the Air-1-Airlines, Air-to-Airbase-Airbase-Airbase-1, reports. These are precisely the same weapons that American war designers say are needed to counter the Chinese army’s air and sea attack in the South and East China and the Pacific.

Officials say the weapons are in the reserves of US military bases in Guam, Okinawa, Japan and elsewhere in the western part of the Pacific. They say the Pentagon has not yet gone to these reserves in the fight against Yemen, but it may soon be forced to do so.
