The US Navy fired nearly $2 billion in weapons over a year of fighting in the Middle East

The US Navy has been involved in combat operations in the Middle East for over a year.

In that time, Navy warships and aircraft in the region have fired $1.85 billion worth of munitions.

These munitions were used to battle the Houthis and defend Israel from Iranian attacks.
 

The US Navy has fired off nearly $2 billion worth of munitions since it began intense combat operations in the Middle East a little over a year ago.
