Israel faces potential shortage of interceptor missiles amid Iran threats - report
Israel is facing a potential shortage of defense system interceptor missiles as it bolsters air defenses against possible attacks from Iran and its proxies, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Stroul also noted that the US cannot indefinitely sustain supply efforts for both Ukraine and Israel, as resources are reaching a critical limit.
Moreover, Boaz Levy, CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries, the state-owned manufacturer of Arrow interceptors for shooting down ballistic missiles, told the Financial Times that he was operating on triple shifts to keep the production lines active.
“Some of our lines are working 24 hours, seven days a week. Our goal is to meet all our obligations,” Levy explained. He further noted that the production time for interceptor missiles was "not a matter of days," while the size of Israel's interceptor missiles stockpiles are not accessible to the public, Levy emphasized that, “It is no secret that we need to replenish stocks.”

Israel arrested some journalists for merely reporting on missile strikes. I have a hard time believing an Israeli weapons exec is dishing with a foreign paper on their weakness or the Jerusalem Post would get approval from the censors to write about it, even if the Financial Times had already done so.

It could be similar to the artillery munition for Ukraine which ran out because production could not keep up.

Looks like the US de-industrializing for short term profits to feed the oligarchy wasn't such a good idea ... hmmm
