The decline of missile stockpiles, which spurred the Department of Defense’s arm-twisting in January for Lockheed Martin Corp. and RTX Corp. to boost production, is worsening by the day.

Modern warfare is all about missiles, interceptors, stealth aircraft and drones. Thanks to companies like Lockheed, RTX, Northrop Grumman Corp. and other defense companies, the US military has at its disposal the most sophisticated and capable of these offensive and defensive weapons. The downside is that they are expensive to operate and complex to manufacture.
