    this type of stop-and-go conflict massively favors the US

    good analysis, but this is false, because Iranian missile/drone production is higher than US’s, and so it recovers faster than US. JDAM production capacity is high though, even if 2026 budget is only for 2300, and are dependent on rare earths. 2026 budget cost is $80k/unit.

      The consumable on the US side is interceptors, not missiles. Iran’s ability to land hits goes up dramatically once we are out of them.
