Despite four years of close observation and support of the war on Ukraine the message from the Iran conflict is that the US has not learned a thing about how to efficiently fight a war against drones.

German plant to produce them is about to come online in weeks and reach full production in a year so there's no reason to worry.

The Iran war could escalate in under a year. The US produces ~1.6 MIM-104s per-day; Some 224 MIM-104s/day were expended in the opening days of the conflict.

I'd say there are arithmetically reasonable causes for worry.
