11. The HUGE problem is we are super low on missile interceptors

Middle East only has enough for 7-10 days. Then there is nothing to stop Iranian missiles.

We only produce 7/8 THAAD missiles a month. One THAAD missiles costs 15 million and it often takes 2 missiles to take down one 20 thousand Iranian missile

So we pay $30 million to take down a 20 thousand drone but soon we be out of THAAD missiles. We also have Patriots in Israel - $2 to $4 million each - we produce 600 a year is should be gone in days. NYT says ARROW interceptors dangerously low.

Rubio mentioned this like he just discovered they were running out of top interceptors.
