The Senate Armed Services Committee met on Tuesday to discuss "the health" of the U.S. defense industrial base and its capability to meet the needs of the nation's armed services.

"The United States military has probably sent about one-third of its Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine — one-third of our supply given to them," Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said during the hearing, which Newsweek attended. "Replenishing U.S. stocks or those weapons would require 32 months."

He raised concerns that if the nation continues to provide Ukraine with Javelin missiles under the current rate of domestic production, the U.S. may experience a significant shortage of this key weapon in the near future.

Blumenthal referenced the Defense Production Act, invoked in March 2020 during the first year of the pandemic and the last year of the Trump administration, when then-President Donald Trump directed manufacturers to produce Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), which was in short supply, while also seeking to prevent both hoarding and price gouging.

"Unless the president invokes the Defense Production Act to prioritize deliveries of components to the manufacturer to give that demand signal," Blumenthal said, "we will run out of these key arms."
