report. Now, let's talk about the real
3:21
problem. Israel operates a four-layer
3:23
missile defense system that many call
3:25
the best on the planet. Iron Dome at the
3:27
lowest level, $40,000 to $200,000 per
3:30
shot. David Sling in the middle layer,
3:33
$700,000 to $1 million. Arrow 2 for long
3:36
range threats, $3 million. A3 for
3:39
exopheric intercepts, $4 million. And
3:42
backing it all up is the American
3:43
supplied THAAD system at a staggeringbacking it all up is the American
3:43
supplied THAAD system at a staggering
3:45
$15 million per interceptor. Now flip
3:48
the numbers. An Iranian ballistic
3:49
missile costs between $200,000 and
3:52
$500,000.
3:54
One A3 round used to stop it costs $4
3:57
million. Israel is spending 5 to 10
3:59
times more per engagement than Iran
4:01
spends to launch the attack. On heavystrike nights, the interception bill
4:04
alone can hit 200 million. That cost gap
4:07
is bad enough, but the real crisis is
4:09
even worse. Israel just told Washington
4:11
this week that it is running critically
4:13
low on interceptors. According to
4:15
Semaphore, the fighting since October
4:17

4:20

completely drained the stockpiles. A1252025, and now this current conflict have

4:26
billion contract with Rathon and Raphael
4:28
was signed in November 2025 to produce
4:31
more Tamir interceptors at a new plant
4:33
in Arkansas. But those interceptors take
4:35
months to build while Iranian missiles
4:37
arrive in minutes. And here's the moment
4:39
that should worry everyone. On the night
