The US is expending high-cost interceptors (Patriots) and cruise missiles (Tomahawks) to counter cheap Iranian drones. Adam Farro notes that Qatar and other allies could run out of munitions in "a couple of days." This consumption rate necessitates an immediate and massive replenishment cycle for defense prime contractors. The economic asymmetry (expensive missiles vs. cheap drones) guarantees sustained government spending on these specific platforms regardless of the war's outcome. LONG. Order books for missile defense systems will expand significantly. Supply chain bottlenecks preventing rapid production ramp-up; political pressure to negotiate a ceasefire reducing immediate demand.
