U.S. draining the Patriot stock in West Asia


The U.S. fired around 100 Patriot interceptors earlier this month to stop 20 Iranian ballistic missiles that were heading to hit an American base in Jordan. That was roughly $400 million worth of missiles in a single attack. 

The Pentagon is known to be running out of these interceptors while replacements can take about two and a half years to arrive.

But the aerospace industry is drooling at the thought of replacing them. They are counting the $$$$$$$$$$$.

The reason why so many Patriot interceptors had to be fired is because they don't work so well. The technology used by the U.S. can't compete with Iranian missile tech.
