Despite billions spent, U.S. stockpiles are limited by the time it takes to build weapons and the few firms that can produce them. Both Ukraine and the Middle East conflicts have taken a toll - for example in one day in January 2024, the Navy fired more Tomahawks than it had.

An automated message that was sent out to U.S. military personnel at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey Friday afternoon warning of a ballistic missile was sent in error, and there was no incoming missile, a U.S. official told the Associated Press. Officials are still looking into why.
