🇺🇸🇮🇷 Why Are U.S. Air Defenses Struggling to Stop Iranian Missiles? The U.S. and its allies have deployed some of the world's most advanced missile defenses, including THAAD and Patriot, yet Iranian missiles have still managed to penetrate the defensive shield. The issue may not be that Patriot or THAAD are completely ineffective. The bigger challenges include large missile salvos, limited interceptor stocks, short reaction times and possible damage to radars and air defense infrastructure. Iran may also be attempting to overwhelm the network through saturation attacks, forcing defenders to spend expensive interceptors against waves of incoming missiles. The key question is no longer whether U.S. air defenses can intercept Iranian missiles. They can. The real question is whether the U.S. and its allies have enough interceptors, radars and operational launchers to sustain the defense during a prolonged missile war.

🚨NEW: 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼 The Iran war has burned through so many U.S. munitions that some administration officials say America couldn't fully defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion right now. -Over 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired since Feb 28 -1,500 to 2,000 critical air-defense interceptors expended (Thaad, Patriot, SM-3, SM-6) -80% of Thaad interceptor stockpile gone -67% of Patriot interceptors gone -27% of Tomahawk stockpile gone -Full replacement could take up to 6 years The Pentagon is now diverting interceptors meant for European allies into U.S. stocks. Air-defense equipment has been pulled from South Korea and the Pacific. Lockheed and RTX are being asked to quadruple production lines. The White House publicly disputes the assessment. The CSIS report and multiple senior officials confirm the math. China watched the entire war and learned how fast the U.S. burns ammunition. Then watched how long it takes to replace.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The U.S. has reportedly burned through roughly one third of its pre war stockpile of key precision munitions during the Iran war. Air defense interceptors are among the hardest hit, with up to 80% of THAAD, more than half of SM 3, and up to 61% of Patriot interceptors reportedly expended. Long range strike weapons have also been heavily depleted, including 1,000+ Tomahawks, 1,100+ JASSMs, and a significant portion of the relatively small PrSM stockpile.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 BIG | The war with Iran is placing unprecedented pressure on America's missile stockpiles. New reports suggest the conflict has consumed a substantial portion of the U.S. military's most advanced air-defense interceptors, forcing Washington to reassess the risks of a prolonged campaign. According to CNN, the U.S. military has expended nearly 80% of its THAAD interceptors and around half of its Patriot missile interceptors compared with pre-war inventories. The report also states that the U.S. Army has used virtually all of its precision long-range surface-to-surface missiles during the conflict. Senior military commanders have reportedly warned that U.S. precision-guided munitions stockpiles are becoming "dangerously low," raising concerns about America's ability to sustain future high-intensity operations. CNN adds that shrinking interceptor inventories, combined with intelligence assessments and pressure from Gulf allies concerned about their own air defenses, were among the factors that convinced some of President Trump's senior advisers to support canceling the planned large-scale military operation over the weekend. Officials from Gulf states have also warned that shortages of U.S.-supplied Patriot and THAAD interceptors could leave the region significantly more vulnerable to potential Iranian missile and drone attacks if the conflict escalates further.

TRILLION-DOLLAR DEFENSE BUDGET, EMPTY MISSILE STOCKPILES. THE MILITARY‑INDUSTRIAL SCAM ON TAXPAYERS EXPOSED Russia hit Kyiv this week with at least two dozen Iskander‑M and S‑400 ballistic missiles, four hypersonic cruise missiles, and more than 100 drones. Warehouses, logistics hubs, industrial sites, and a major shopping center were struck. Ukraine did not intercept a single one of the 28 missiles, because officials say their last Patriot interceptors were fired days earlier. This comes as President Trump has denied Zelenskyy’s request for more Patriot missiles, saying U.S. stockpiles are needed in the Middle East. That leaves the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine in a strategic bind: two active wars, in Ukraine and the Middle East, both drawing from the same limited pool of missile interceptors. A single Patriot battery costs around $1.1 billion, and each PAC‑3 interceptor costs about $4 million and takes more than two years to produce. The U.S. currently turns out fewer than 1,000 Patriot interceptors a year. Even with planned factory expansions, output would still be under 3,000 annually. Levels that now look badly mismatched to real wartime demand. If the U.S. cannot produce air defense missiles faster than adversaries can force them to be used, the problem is no longer confined to Kyiv’s skies or the Middle East. It is a systemic American defense industrial problem. Ben Freeman joins me to break this down.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇳 Former U.S. Navy Admiral Mark Montgomery says the real casualty of the Iran war might not be in the Middle East at all, but America's ability to fight China. Reports claiming some weapons are nearly exhausted can be misleading because certain systems, like PrSM, were produced in very small numbers to begin with. But he says the real concern is different. The U.S. has burned through roughly half its stockpile of long-range precision strike weapons, including Tomahawks and JASSMs, while Patriot and THAAD interceptor inventories have fallen dramatically. According to Montgomery, that's enough to affect planning for a future war with China or Russia. The problem isn't today's fight, but the next one. He argues Congress and the Pentagon are finally placing massive orders for new missiles, but replenishing those stockpiles won't happen anytime soon. Rocket motors, complex supply chains, and years of underinvestment mean production can't simply be switched on overnight. Even with record funding, rebuilding America's arsenal could take 3 to 4 years. Montgomery says that's the strategic vulnerability. Meanwhile Ukraine is already absorbing the shortfall. Montgomery says Kyiv hasn't received a Patriot in 8 months, and the same munitions gap now shaping Iran policy is quietly reshaping what's left for Europe America's military is being defeated not on the battlefield, but by colliding with the limits of its own industrial base. That's a problem money alone can't solve quickly. Mark Montgomery Brandon Weichert

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Since Feb 28, Iran has launched nearly 1,200 ballistic missiles and 4,000 drones at targets across the Gulf. That’s forced the US and Gulf states to burn through ~2,400 Patriot interceptors basically wiping out a huge chunk of their pre-war stockpiles. On top of that, America is also rapidly using up high-end missiles like Tomahawks and JASSMs, the exact weapons the Pentagon wants to keep for a potential fight with China. In just a few weeks, the US has burned through years’ worth of expensive munitions that are very hard (and slow) to replace. Allies are already getting nervous that this Middle East war is draining America’s ability to support Ukraine and deter China at the same time. The arsenal isn’t infinite, and the meter is running fast. Source: Bloomberg

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Iran war may come down to simple math... and the math is ugly Patriots cost $5M each. THAADs cost $12M. The U.S. makes 41 Patriots and 8 THAADs per month. Iran replaces a missile for $1-2M and a drone for $50K. It can produce hundreds of missiles and up to 6,000 drones monthly. The Pentagon had just 25% of the Patriot stockpile it needed before this war started. A few more weeks and over a third of what's left could be gone. That's why the coalition is frantically hunting launchers and factories. If they can't destroy production before the interceptors run dry, the math flips. Source: SearchParty on YT

🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸Iran or US: Who will win missile war or attrition? Russian military expert, historian of the Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov explains: 💬 "If we look at the numbers being cited, Iran is said to have between 2,000 and 4,000 missiles. At a launch rate of around 100 or more per day, that would suggest roughly a month of sustained high-intensity missile attacks. As for THAAD interceptors, about 650 have been produced in total, with 150 used during a previous attack. That would leave roughly 400 remaining, possibly fewer. With careful and efficient use, that stock could last around 10 days — perhaps as little as five. If we’re talking about Patriot missiles, the US stockpile is larger, of course, but it can be depleted as well. Especially if they launch 10 missiles against a single Iranian ballistic missile, then they would have enough for three weeks, and that's with a very, very large margin. 👉 So Iran has a very important trump card right now. And if it uses its missiles correctly, saving its most technologically advanced ones, the hypersonic Fattahs, for the final stage—and the Fattahs are not intercepted at all by Israeli Arrow-3 missiles, nor by American THAAD and Patriot systems—then Iran essentially has a chance to land a very painful blow on Israel and the US. And in that way, essentially, to take revenge for the surprise attack carried out on Iran. [The US] produces around 55 interceptors per month, which is not enough to rapidly replenish heavy battlefield usage. New production facilities are under construction in Germany and Romania, but they are not yet operational. While some missiles could potentially be sourced from Arab states, yet Arab countries are using these missiles too. That’s why I say that given this intensity, this missile use can endure from two to three weeks, four weeks tops. But we don’t know the situation in Iran. It’s possible Iran has underground plants where ballistic missiles are produced as well."

🇺🇸 The U.S. fired more than 800 Tomahawk missiles in the Iran war, at $2.6 million apiece, and it takes nearly 4 years to replenish a single production run. Here is the full picture: -Nearly half of U.S. Patriot interceptors gone -Between 190-290 THAAD interceptors fired ($15.5 million each) -Up to 80% of long-range ground-launched precision missiles expended And the Pentagon is now scrambling to put the defense industry on wartime footing, with companies that make thermostats and electric bus drives suddenly being asked to manufacture missile components… The replacement timeline is the part nobody is talking about: 4-5 years per weapons system, and that is if everything goes perfectly, which it never does. A CSIS war game simulation found that in a U.S.-China conflict over Taiwan, the U.S. would run out of long-range anti-ship missiles in 3-7 days and air-to-surface missiles within a month. The Heritage Foundation found the same scenario leads to "systemic operational failure" by day 120. The Iran war is not going to deplete the U.S. to the point of losing, nobody is saying that, but it has revealed something that adversaries can see clearly: America burned through years of precision munitions stockpile in 6 weeks against a mid-tier military power. A country that can regenerate combat power quickly is dangerous to fight, a country that visibly cannot is one that invites aggression. China is watching, and they just launched their most extensive military drills around Taiwan in years. Source: CBC News

🚨THE AMMUNITION CRISIS: U.S. DEPLETING GLOBAL RESERVES The U.S. is facing a "dearth of air defense capabilities," reportedly considering pulling Patriot and THAAD batteries from South Korea to sustain the fight. This shift leaves the Pacific vulnerable and confirms that the U.S. was never prepared for a prolonged conflict with Iran. Tehran has calculated they can endure more pain than the West can, and they are successfully sucking down expensive American interceptor missiles with lower-cost strikes. With the Ayatollah and other leaders already assassinated, there is no chance of a negotiated settlement...Iran is fighting for total survival. Daniel Davis Deep Dive

🚨🇮🇷🇨🇳If America Can’t Handle Iranian Missiles, It’s Not Ready for China In just the first 16 days of war against Iran, the United States expended nearly 40% of its THAAD interceptors. If America’s most advanced air defenses are struggling against Iran—a regional power with a fraction of China’s capabilities—there is no plausible scenario in which the US is ready for a showdown with Beijing. The Chinese Arsenal The People’s Liberation Army operates the world’s largest missile inventory, backed by a rapid-action doctrine designed to dismantle U.S. bases and infrastructure in the early stages of conflict. Unlike Iran’s Kheibar Shikan and Sejjil missiles, China’s DF-27 anti-ship ballistic missile and DF-17 hypersonic glide vehicle offer advanced mid-air maneuverability and sustained hypersonic speeds. With an estimated range of 8,000 kilometers, the DF-27 places U.S. naval installations at Pearl Harbor and Everett, Washington within striking distance—allowing China to threaten American assets without deploying a single ship. Strategic Implications According to Dr. Andrew Erickson of the US Naval War College, China is the first nation to operationalize an armed ICBM. These capabilities could cripple U.S. operational effectiveness across East Asia and complicate the defense of American interests in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines in the event of armed conflict. Depleted Defenses Even as Patriot and THAAD struggle against less sophisticated Iranian missiles, Western analysts warn that a large-scale Chinese attack could overwhelm U.S. defenses by depleting interceptor inventories entirely. With THAAD replenishment not expected until April 2027, the fragility of current stockpiles is increasingly difficult to ignore. The Central Question If US air defenses are depleted in the Middle East after just over two weeks of fighting Iran, how will they withstand a Chinese arsenal that dwarfs Iran’s—particularly when the DF-27 can already reach American soil?

🇮🇷 Iran’s missiles are suddenly hitting with deadly precision - and the fingerprints of China and Russia are all over it. Reports indicate Iran is receiving advanced targeting assistance from Beijing and Moscow for its ballistic missile strikes across the Middle East. Using systems like the Zolfaghar and Fattah-1, Iran’s accuracy against U.S. and allied targets in the Gulf has sharply improved in 2026, overwhelming Patriot and THAAD defenses. The likely support includes satellite imagery, real-time ship and base locations, and battle damage assessment. China is also supplying BeiDou navigation, making Iranian missiles far harder to jam. Russia appears to be retaliating for U.S. aid to Ukraine, while the Trump administration is particularly alarmed by China’s role - because it is now costing American lives. 📌U.S. Army Patriot Defenders provide 24/7 presence in the Middle East:

🚨🇺🇸 Lockheed Martin is developing a lower-cost Patriot interceptor to counter the growing drone threat. The new PAC-3 ACE missile is designed to provide much of the combat capability of the PAC-3 MSE at a significantly lower price. According to available information, the PAC-3 ACE will be capable of intercepting drones, cruise missiles, and short-range ballistic missiles, while delivering around two-thirds of the combat effectiveness of the PAC-3 MSE. The missile is expected to cost between $1.6 million and $2.7 million, compared with $4 million to $5.3 million for the current PAC-3 MSE interceptor. The existing PAC-3 MSE remains one of the world's most advanced air-defense missiles, designed to destroy long-range ballistic missiles and, according to its manufacturer, capable of engaging certain hypersonic threats. As demand for Patriot interceptors continues to surge, the U.S. government has also asked Lockheed Martin to triple production of the PAC-3 MSE, reflecting the growing need to replenish missile stockpiles while preparing for future high-intensity conflicts.

🚨🇷🇺🚀 Russia is accelerating ballistic missile production as Ukraine faces a growing shortage of air defense interceptors. The widening imbalance threatens to increase pressure on Ukrainian cities in the months ahead. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, Russia is currently producing around 120 ballistic missiles per month, including Iskander-M and Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missiles, in addition to 20-25 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles. Moscow is also reportedly expanding its arsenal with KN-23 ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea. The assessment suggests that the Kremlin is increasingly betting on a strategy of attrition, seeking to intensify large-scale missile strikes while Ukraine waits for additional Western air defense interceptors, the development of its own anti-ballistic systems, and the serial production of domestically manufactured ballistic missiles. According to the report, many Ukrainian Patriot launchers are currently without interceptor missiles, with both PAC-2 and PAC-3 launch canisters reportedly standing empty. As a result, Russia’s growing ballistic missile arsenal is expected to remain one of the most serious threats to Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, as well as to the country’s critical infrastructure, in the coming months. The combination of rising Russian missile production and limited interceptor availability is shaping one of the most critical challenges for Ukraine’s air defense as the war enters a new phase of long-range strikes.

Crazy consumption of anti-missile air defense for the Patriot air defense system. Considering the number of missiles and drones launched by Iran, the Coalition simply cannot avoid using PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles for the PATRIOT air defense system. The more intense and frequent the Iranian attacks, the fewer or no missiles will be sent to Ukraine. To replenish stocks for regional countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, it will take about 6-8 months. And missiles, judging by everything, are starting to run out. Even in Israel. American and Israeli aviation expend missiles on empty buildings of courts and intelligence services in Iran. They hit offices and barracks where no one is present. They report with nice pictures. At the same time, considering Iranian strikes, they are forced to send fuel tankers from Europe to support aviation.

Twenty years after the WMD lie in Iraq, the U.S. is once again being dragged toward war over Iran’s nuclear threat narrative. After months of escalation, Trump has now paused the strikes he once warned about, and the reason may be simple: America is running low on the weapons needed to fight a full-scale war. Reports indicate the U.S. has already burned through about one-third of its prewar stockpile of key precision munitions. Up to 80% of THAAD interceptors are gone, more than half of Navy SM-3 interceptors have been used, and as much as 60% of Patriot interceptors have been expended. More than 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles, over 1,000 JASSMs, and large shares of the Army’s Precision Strike Missile inventory have already been fired. That is not a position any military wants to be in. This war, launched on behalf of Israel and sold as a week-long conflict, is now threatening a much broader regional disaster. It leaves U.S. bases exposed, service members vulnerable, and would ultimately force all U.S. bases out of the region. Brandon Weichert (Brandon Weichert) joins me to break down what this means for the conflict's future, and US empire.

🚨 THE PENTAGON’S BIGGEST LIE: "Iran is Running Out of Missiles." 🚨 Former CIA Analyst Larry Johnson exposes the "Yogi Berra deja vu" of the Iran War: harkening back to lies told to support the 2003 Iraq War. The U.S. is facing an empty magazine crisis while the media sells a fantasy. "We just can't see through rocks." Iran has buried a meaningful portion of its arsenal under "miles and miles and miles of tunnels," where U.S. intel estimates are guesses at best, and unverifiable - though the fact Iran has *increased* the number of drone and missile launches over the past week is evidence their stockpiles are more robust than our leaders claim. ⛰️🛡️ "Iran (in the early days of the war) used missiles that were 10, 15 years old... They were sucking up U.S. air defense." Tehran is trading old tech to bleed our million-dollar interceptors dry. The math is terminal: "If we have not depleted our PAC-3 (missile interceptors)... and our THAAD missiles now, they'll be depleted by next week." 📉 With only ~900 THAADs ever built and 1,000+ Iranian missiles launched, our inventory of some classes of interceptor missiles could be days away from zero. ⏳⚖️ Stop falling for the narrative. Understand the reality of America’s declining defenses. 👇 Watch the full emergency breakdown on Daniel Davis Deep Dive:

💪Stunningly, Iranian leaders and the people displayed unwavering courage and resilience. 🔥Despite the overwhelming setbacks and odds, Iran fought back bravely and brilliantly. There was no mass evacuation of Tehran; military leaders who were assassinated were quickly replaced with able men; and missiles kept flying towards Israel. 🇮🇱For the first time since the founding of Israel, its capital was getting pummeled by powerful ballistic missiles. Even though Americans tried to intercept these missiles from ships, planes and land-based systems (Patriot, THAAD, Arrow) – not to mention, Israel’s much-hyped Iron Dome – the Iranian missiles overwhelmed the imperialists. To the utter dismay of the Zionists, after a week of the war, they found out that Iran still had not deployed their most advanced missiles yet. That’s when Trump changed his tune to talking about ceasefire. The US has now depleted so much of its inventory of weapons – Patriot interceptors, Hellfire missiles, Stinger missiles etc. – that it is forced to stop arming Ukraine. 6/10

The Russians fired 35 missiles at Ukraine last night, 27 of them ballistic. Only a single ballistic missile was shot down—simply because there are no missiles left for the Patriot system, according to Zelenskyy. In Kyiv alone: ​​9 dead and at least 23 injured as a result of the Russian attack. And no, Trump will not supply Patriots to Ukraine, and no, Trump will likely not allow Ukraine to produce Patriots itself. And yes, Trump is doing everything he can to help Putin destroy Ukraine.
