BOOK DESCRIPTION

ARE WE RUNNING OUT OF MISSILE DEFENSE INTERCEPTORS?

A Global Assessment of Defensive Capacity, Industrial Constraints, and Strategic Implications

In June 2025, as Iranian ballistic missiles rained down on Israel during a twelve-day war, the United States expended approximately 25 percent of its global THAAD interceptor inventory-more than 100 of these $12.7 million missiles-in a desperate effort to shield its ally from devastating strikes. Simultaneously, Ukraine continued consuming Western air defense interceptors at alarming rates against Russian missile barrages, while the U.S. Navy burned through Standard Missiles defending commercial shipping in the Red Sea from Houthi attacks. These concurrent crises laid bare a fundamental asymmetry at the heart of modern defense: offensive missiles cost millions to produce, but defensive interceptors cost tens of millions-and production capacity for interceptors lags catastrophically behind the proliferation of threats.
