On April 10, Lockheed Martin said the U.S. government awarded the defense company a $4.7 billion preliminary contract to continue accelerated production of the PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE).

This follows a seven-year agreement with the U.S. Department of War to increase annual production of PAC-3 interceptors to 2,000 units, up from around 600, as countries expand air defense capabilities amid rising geopolitical tensions.

— ❗️🇮🇷/ - WSJ citing US intelligence :- Iran still has thousands of ballistic missiles remaining, and under this ceasefire, most of the missile launchers are being brought out from the undergrounds.

@IntelSlava

U.S. intelligence assessments suggest that Iran still possesses thousands of ballistic missiles and retains the ability to retrieve launchers from underground storage, challenging Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s assertion that the country’s missile program has been “functionally destroyed.”

A key factor is that missile launchers are relatively easy to manufacture, enabling Iran to produce them in large quantities within a short period, supporting its claims of being able to sustain a prolonged conflict. Moreover, Iran may operate underground solid-propellant production facilities for ballistic missiles, allowing continued production beyond the visible sites that have already been destroyed.
