"To date, they've struck more than 5,000 targets. U.S. Strategic command bombers recently dropped dozens of 2,000 lb GPS penetrating weapons... using a combination of artillery, fighters, bombers and sea launch missiles." The sheer volume of ordnance being dropped—over 5,000 targets serviced in just 10 days—means the US military is rapidly depleting its stockpiles of precision-guided munitions (PGMs), bunker busters, Tomahawk missiles, and air defense interceptors. To maintain readiness for other global theaters, the Department of Defense will be forced to issue massive, expedited replenishment contracts to prime defense contractors who manufacture these specific weapons systems. LONG prime defense contractors. The unprecedented expenditure of high-tech munitions guarantees a multi-year backlog of high-margin replenishment orders for the companies that build them. Supply chain bottlenecks (such as shortages in solid rocket motors or critical electronic components) could delay production timelines and revenue recognition.
