The Pentagon is boosting defense spending, allocating over $74 billion for drones and related tech, and $30 billion for munitions. This surge is driven by the war with Iran, with drones hailed as a game-changer. The Navy is significantly increasing its Tomahawk cruise missile stockpile, aiming for a thirteen hundred percent increase. The plan was in motion before the recent U.S. strikes on Iran, emphasizing the need for deeper ammo reserves amid escalating tensions.
