Wall Street Journal: America fired more than 70 interceptors to counter Iran's 20 missiles

🔹 The Wall Street Journal wrote in a new report about the pressure of Iran's war on US missile defense reserves:

According to this report, US forces used approximately 60 to 70 Patriot missiles and more than 12 THAAD interceptors for this ground attack; That is, the number of interceptors shot down was many times the number of attacking missiles.

America has used more than 1,700 Patriot interceptors and about 200 THAAD interceptors since July; An issue that increased concerns about the reduction of reserves and the limitation of production capacity to replace them.

🔹 By using warheads and different flight paths, Iran tried to complicate the countermeasures of the American air defense systems in missile attacks.
