The Pentagon has said it will spend $840mn on 37 Thaad interceptors in the fiscal year 2026. The US army also requested $1.3bn for 96 defensive Patriot missiles this fiscal year.
In addition to THAAD munitions, the US Navy spent at least 80 sophisticated seaborne missiles, including the SM-3, with the US Navy having plans to acquire just 12 new SM-3 missiles in 2026. The rest were SM-2 and SM-6 missiles which the US already fired 200 of them at the Houthis with the amount left in storage currently unknown.

Multiple simulations showed that Chinese forces could destroy or disable the new carriers in a wide range of ways, and could do so before American air power was able to influence the course of hostilities. The People’s Liberation Army was shown conducting effective cyber operations and counter-space attacks, complementing the effectiveness of its missile salvoes to degrade U.S. defences surrounding the carrier in the opening phase of combat.
Attacks on surveillance and navigation satellites vital to the U.S. Armed Forces’ ability to carry out targeting, routing, and battle management played a key role in the success of Chinese attacks, after which successive waves of anti-ship missiles were able to comfortably exceed the defensive capacity of the multi-layered defences of American carrier groups.
Chinese strikes were shown to have frequently routinely neutralised the Gerald Ford class carrier in question, the USS Gerald Ford, early in the simulations, and did so by combining long-range anti-ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic glide vehicles, and electronic disruption. The report highlights the fast growing anti-shipping capabilities of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, including including DF-21D and DF-26 medium and intermediate range anti-ship ballistic missiles, and an increasingly capable bomber fleet armed with anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles.
Due to the USS Gerald R Ford's positioning in the Mediterranean Sea, it will be an extremely difficult target for Iranian missiles, even with real-time intel provided by Chinese satellites, to reach, let alone sink, as the missiles would have to get past all the air defenses protecting Israeli cities.
The aircraft carrier that is in real danger is the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Indian Ocean which is in range of Iranian and Houthi MRBMs and outside of the range of US aircraft which is concentrated In Israel and Jordan.

The Iranian regime must stop taking hostages and release all Americans unjustly detained in Iran, steps that could end this designation and associated actions. We encourage it to do so.
