This could explain the extra THAAD systems being sent to Israel. It is manufactured by Lockheed Martin and uses different missiles.

And why not all of Iran's missiles were intercepted.
There's a low chance that this is a story about actual shortages that would indicate a weakness in Israel's missile defenses and very high chance this is about the weapons industry trying to milk more money from the US and Israeli governments.
Israel arrested some journalists for merely reporting on missile strikes. I have a hard time believing an Israeli weapons exec is dishing with a foreign paper on their weakness or the Jerusalem Post would get approval from the censors to write about it, even if the Financial Times had already done so.
America had a large amount of interceptor missiles in supply. However after thousands of rockets it is not unthinkable the missile factory cannot keep up. Hezbollah is firing 100 rockets into Israel every single day.
It could be similar to the artillery munition for Ukraine which ran out because production could not keep up.
It's certainly very feasible. They just would be very unlikely to be commenting on or printing this story if that was the whole story.
Good.
lol
Oh no! Who could have prevented this!
Rabin, presumably.
Peace?
Don't worry, I'm sure the US.A. will offer a weekly Groupon deal with free shipping.
If they didn't want to find out, maybe they shouldn't have fucked around.
@geneva_convenience that's really, really, too bad:(
Looks like the US de-industrializing for short term profits to feed the oligarchy wasn't such a good idea ... hmmm
