Pentagon requests $67 billion emergency funding to replenish key missiles amid Iran conflict

The Pentagon requested $67 billion in emergency funding for the current fiscal year, including $18.2 billion to replenish advanced weapons like Patriot, Tomahawk, and THAAD missiles.

The breakdown includes $3.28 billion for three versions of RTX Corp.'s Standard Missile interceptors and $100 million for Lockheed Martin's classified Joint Advanced Tactical Missile.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the request includes $21 billion to accelerate procurement of advanced missiles and new lower-cost munitions, such as JDAM and Low-Cost Containerized Munition.

Funding also covers $1.3 billion for RTX Tomahawk cruise missiles, $1 billion for SM-3 Block IIA interceptors, $992 million for AMRAAMs, and $692 million for Lockheed Martin's Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), first used in combat against Iran.

A separate $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget proposal remains stalled.
