Judging Freedom
Matt Hoh : US is Unprepared for Iran War 3.0
What was said
"The Iranians can produce somewhere between 100 and 200 ballistic missiles a month. Uh which is more than the Americans can produce in terms of both Patriots or THAADs. I think the Americans can produce about 600 Patriot missiles a year. That's 50 a month."
Matt Hoh, a former US State Department official and anti-war activist, argues the US is unprepared for a sustained air and missile campaign against Iran because interceptor inventories are low and replenishment is slow. He claims Iran can manufacture 100–200 ballistic missiles a month, while the US produces roughly 600 Patriot interceptors a year, leaving the US at a production disadvantage in a protracted exchange.
