Pentagon Calls for Doubling Missile Production in Case of Conflict with China

The Pentagon is urging a doubling of missile production in the event of conflict with China, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The Pentagon demands that defense contractors significantly increase their production of missiles and ammunition due to concerns over inadequate stockpiles to meet potential needs in case of conflict with China. The goal is to double, and in some cases quadruple, the production rates of critical weaponry.

To expedite supplies, a series of high-level meetings are being held between Pentagon leadership and leading manufacturers.
