According to information obtained by Defense News, a major publication in the global press and based in the US, the US Congress has prepared a comprehensive report on whether the US could win a possible war with China. According to the information in the report, there is a “possibility that the US could lose the war” due to insufficient industry, preparation, stagnation of technological entrepreneurship and low budget. According to the report prepared by the US Congress National Defense Strategy Commission with the participation of both government institutions and strategic defense, foreign policy and industry organizations, the US is inadequate in terms of financial, industrial and technological dimensions of the war. The report emphasizes that Russia and China are expected to act together in the event of a conflict and also states that the US will have difficulty in the long term in sustaining a multi-front war in this case.
AMMUNITIONS WILL BE OUT
The report was reportedly delivered to the US Senate Armed Services Committee on Monday. According to the report, there is a huge gap between the US Department of Defense’s (Pentagon) goals for creating a fighting force and reality. The Pentagon particularly ignores “the point that China’s industrial war-fighting capacity surpasses that of the United States.” According to the report, according to declassified Pentagon war strategy reports, the US’s conventional ammunition will run out in 3 or 4 weeks against China, while strategic equipment such as anti-ship or air defense ammunition will run out in a few days. The remanufacturing of these ammunitions takes at least a year. China’s ammunition stock is strong enough to sustain a war for a year.
WORLD WAR STARTS
The report emphasizes that in a possible war with China, Russia, Iran and North Korea would “definitely” be involved in the war, and that such an alliance would be very challenging for the US in strategic terms. It also states that a multiple alliance would create multi-front conflicts extending from Europe to the Pacific and the Middle East, and This spreadThe warning that the US is beyond the capacity of NATO as well as the USA is among the important points in the report.
THEY WILL BE EXPANDING

Focusing on ammunition production, which is of key importance, The report’s recommendations also include placing more combat vehicles at U.S. bases around the world and purchasing more weapons from other countries.
CRISIS AT THE DOOR
The report emphasizes that the US is facing its biggest defense crisis since the Cold War and that the situation is getting worse, and the following statements reveal how critical the situation is: “The US’s war capacity and production power are insufficient for today’s conflicts, let alone for a major war. While the preparation process is progressing at bureaucratic speed, the danger is approaching with wartime urgency. Since there is no compulsory military service, there is a serious personnel shortage, and the same problem is also present in the private sector. “The war readiness point is about to be broken. The US urgently needs to switch to a Cold War-era defense budget.”
