Defense costs are huge, and the U.S. must be vigilant about the cost of weapons, said Biden administration officials.

Blinken, the US Secretary of State, talks about Iran:

The Iranians have put us in a situation where we have used up a lot of interceptors to defend against, even using offensive missiles to destroy their launchers.

Or vice versa, they run out of ammunition while we still have stockpiles?

I don't know the exact numbers—I don't have that authority—but this issue must be closely monitored because these things are not infinitely available.

The production cycle is long. And we are also using very expensive weapons to shoot down drones that cost only 20,000 dollars. If we keep doing this for a long time, it's not cost-effective.
