US defence hawk

Argues Iron Dome's role is expanding toward ballistic-missile defence within Israel's layered shield, as the war exposed how fast lower-tier stocks deplete and why production capacity, not coverage doctrine, is the binding constraint.

“The war showed lower-tier interceptor stocks deplete fast; production capacity, not doctrine, is now the binding constraint.”

Treats the drawdown as a strategic red flag for a potential Indo-Pacific fight: if a regional air war empties US stocks this fast, deterrence against China rests on a magazine that cannot be refilled quickly. Pushes for surge funding and second sources.

“If one regional campaign drains America's interceptor magazine, the deterrent against a larger adversary is hollow.”
