A recent 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran exposed critical vulnerabilities in US and Israeli missile defense systems.
Iran launched 574 missiles at Israel, overwhelming defenses and forcing the US to use 14% of its global THAAD interceptor stockpile. Experts warn that replenishing these high-tech interceptors could take years, leaving both nations exposed to future attacks. The conflict highlighted Israel's heavy reliance on US military support and raised concerns about the sustainability and cost of missile defense strategies.
Defense analysts urge urgent action to rebuild stockpiles and reassess preparedness for large-scale missile attacks.
