What if we run out of patriot missiles? [View all]

So Iran is firing all their missiles and drones. We have anti missile and drone defenses on our bases, the Israeli also have a sophisticated defense system. I recall that during the last salvo between Israel and Iran, we had to quickly supply Israel because they were running out. On more than a few occasions , missiles slipped through defenses.

Now, you also have to content with drones. Small fast and inexpensive that can be produced and launched by the thousands.

Iran is one of the biggest drones countries.

What are the odds than in a week from now, we start seeing real damage to our bases or other places?

I don't think the Trump regime is smart enough to have planned for it.
