As the US-Israel war with Iran continues, a central question on military minds is how long U.S. forces can sustain intercepting waves of Iranian drones and missiles. Tehran has fired hundreds of missiles and one-way attack UAVs in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes, forcing Western air-defence systems like Patriot and THAAD to work overtime to protect bases and allies. Experts warn that while current defence systems can intercept most incoming threats, the high rate of fire is rapidly depleting expensive interceptors and could strain stockpiles if hostilities continue for weeks.
