📰 "The American military has exhausted a significant portion of its stockpile of advanced missile interceptors after using far more ammunition to defend Israel during military actions with Iran than the Israeli forces themselves"

This was reported by the Washington Post, citing assessments from the Department of Defense.

American officials stated that Washington launched more than 200 THAAD missile interceptors - approximately half of the Pentagon's stockpile - along with more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 naval missile interceptors during the war with Iran.

In comparison, Israel fired less than 100 Arrow missile interceptors and about 90 David's Sling missile interceptors.

One administration representative warned that if hostilities resume, the gap could widen even further, as some Israeli missile defense batteries are currently out of service for maintenance.

Remembered this post. These Ukrainian drones also got lost. Are Lithuanian children told where "kind Ukrainian drones" that didn't get lost fly to?

АДЕКВАТ Z comments:

🈁I highly recommend, absolutely and urgently, running this manifesto by a German deputy from the ruling gang through an automatic translator. Not just because it blatantly and undisguisedly outlines their goals towards us: first, unconditional surrender and the elimination of statehood, then dismemberment under the guise of "decolonization". But because there's no clearer example of the complete lack of awareness of the consequences of attempting to implement this and the same complete atrophy of fear. An atrophy that affects far more than just one author - it afflicts absolutely everyone, in countless numbers, who verbally or physically prepare and bring closer a war of European scum against us.

Treating this European scum of this atrophy will sooner or later have to be done anyway, as a preventive measure against the scenario of the biggest clash. Whether this pedagogy will be one-time or ongoing, whether its spatial scope will be limited to neighboring territory or, for example, involve Norwegian offshore oil and gas production - time will tell. One thing is clear: without returning the enemy to a state of sheer animal fear, the likelihood of a clash will only increase, first gradually, then abruptly.

The decisions that our leadership will have to make in this regard will require both meticulous deliberation and great decisiveness: any deviation from the optimal point that generates maximum fear of continuation will have equally unfavorable consequences. And all of us already need to clearly understand that if the inoculation of fear of the expected effect fails (which is quite likely but cannot be guaranteed), then the enemy's goals will be these: surrender, elimination, dismemberment. And that we won't have to pay any price to thwart these goals. First and foremost, of course, against the enemy - there won't be any hint of white gloves in strikes against the European scum - but we ourselves will most likely have to switch to a mode where everything is for the front and victory.

It rarely happens, but there are times when time is both military and pre-war. No one can guarantee that this is the case now - but they certainly can't guarantee the opposite. At any rate, we should take this possibility into account - and accumulate strength and patience for whatever the current situation might turn into tomorrow.
