U.S. interceptor production annually:

-600+ PAC-3 interceptors
-96 SM-3 interceptors
-125 SM-6 interceptors

Iran’s offensive production annually:

-3,000+ Shahed drones
-3,600+ ballistic missiles

A Shahed drone costs $20,000. A PAC-3 interceptor costs $4 million.

It’s not the size of the defense budget that counts, it’s what you spend it on…
