The math of this war is devastating for the U.S. and its allies.
Reports indicate 6-7 interceptors are being fired per incoming Iranian missile. Here's what that costs:
Iranian missiles (estimated cost per unit):→ Shahab-3: ~$1-2 million → Emad/Ghadr: ~$2-3 million → Fateh-110: ~$500K-1 million → Houthis/proxy drones: ~$20-50K each
Allied interceptors (estimated cost per unit):→ Arrow-3: ~$3-5 million → Arrow-2: ~$2-3 million → David's Sling: ~$1-2 million → SM-3 (Navy): ~$15-30 million → THAAD interceptor: ~$12-15 million → Patriot PAC-3: ~$4-6 million
At 6-7 interceptors per missile:
One $2M Iranian missile costs the coalition $18-100M+ to defeat.
Iran has fired 200+ missiles. That's potentially tens of billions in interceptors burned in 48 hours. Iran doesn't need to win the air war. They just need to make it financially unsustainable. Every missile they launch drains the Western arsenal AND the budget.
This is asymmetric warfare at its purest. Iran is bleeding the empire.
