Extra funding may not tackle US PGM shortage

Even with the supplemental appropriations intended to pay for the
munitions
expended in recent military operation against terrorist forces in
Afghanistan,
the US services still are facing a potential shortage of some munitions
and
missiles, writes David C Isby. Admiral Dennis Blair, commander-in-chief
of US
Pacific Command (CINCPAC), testified in Congress in March that
“Operation
‘Enduring Freedom’ has significantly reduced the already limited
worldwide
stocks of precision munitions across all services”.

Hmmmmmm, this is not good news. Maybe they might want to look at addapting their fleet to carry Non-US stock, I do belive the russians and the French would really love to sell to the Yanks and the Indians could help them with the technical fit-out as they are pretty much experts in this area!

Leave no-one behind!
