>The US has used up 15-20% of its global THAAD missile stockpile in just 11 days, defending Israel from Iranian missiles

>Military Watch Magazine notes that with each THAAD interceptor launch costing an estimated $12-15 million, air defense operations using the system deployed in Israel have cost between $810 million and $1.215 billion.
12-15m for each interception is wild lmao

Ballistic missiles are fairly simple, I bet they cost 2% of one THAAD

>>508885041 (OP)
Cost isn’t as much of an issue as how long it costs to build replacements. Goes for all those Tomahawks we shot off as well.

>>508885041 (OP)
Hit them again, Iran!

>Cost isn’t as much of an issue
Nigga we are broke.

>>508885041 (OP)
So this is the power of the world's last remaining military superpower? What's the point of spending more on our military than the next 12 counties combined if we're still almost out of missiles after just a few days. I want a refund.

>>508885041 (OP)
That's pretty thaad. I hope we let iran know when we've used 100% so they know when to go all-out and obliterate israel.

>>508885855
Iskander's are about $3mil each, and likely cheaper now cause they build so much more of them. About like ~100x a month.
Also they used about 60-80 THAAD missiles during the war. So the US only has 300-400 THAAD missiles in total before the conflict and are down to low ~300x. Also the US used up a lot of bombs against the Houthi's too. I wonder how SM-3 and SM-6 stocks are holding up.

>>508885855
Not to mention the even cheaper distraction missiles and drones

>$12-15 million
How many SCUDS could I buy for that money?

>>508886939
Nigga, we aren’t broke as long as we control the world’s money printers. You and I may be broke, but the government can always spend more.
That was probably a year’s worth of THAAD production.

>>508888189
The US is now doing as much as it can to hurrily end conflicts on the basis that its simply costing to much and draining out stockpile because we build so slowly. Also its probably closer to 2-3 years. The US conceded to the Houthi's and we'll have to wait and see how this ceasefire with Iran holds up. Costs are going way up but our production is still lagging behind. We are being milked hard by MIC and they barley have anything to show for it.

15-20% of their *KNOWN* stockpile. We all know they have 5-10 times more than what they are telling us.

>>508888189
If it was that simple, empires in the past wouldn't have had money problems because they controlled their currencies too.

>>508887350
Iskander is manueverable, and super accurate

>>508885041 (OP)
Wow thats a lot of money i wonder whos footing the bill.

>>508885041 (OP)
That seems like the kind of information you would want to keep secret

>>508887112
High-tech, fancy gadgets and highly-trained spec ops have been the name of the game for a few decades now. Those interceptors cost a great deal more than the stuff they're supposed to stop

>>508890160
Surely. Can't be that you've just been scammed. Not by the jews, they'd never do such a thing.

Kek. MIGAtards will defend this btw

That's how the reserve currency goes broke. The US lose control of the money printer when they can't maintain their hegemony

>>508896371
>>508896638

>>508886022
on this scale it's more about how many factories the contractors involved want to spin up to meet demand.

>>508885855
for the quality of missiles needed to strike israel the interceptors are probably cheaper for americas economy than the missiles for iran.
