Despite four years of close observation and support of the war on Ukraine the message from the Iran conflict is that the US has not learned a thing about how to efficiently fight a war against drones.

The lower the stock, the higher next year’s military budget.

Military complex loves having a bigger budget every year. Social security solvency be damned.

I think the lessons have been learnt well. Just not the ones that serve average American.

German plant to produce them is about to come online in weeks and reach full production in a year so there's no reason to worry.

The Iran war could escalate in under a year. The US produces ~1.6 MIM-104s per-day; Some 224 MIM-104s/day were expended in the opening days of the conflict.

I'd say there are arithmetically reasonable causes for worry.

Can those munitions be provided to Ukraine without US approval?
