Washington Post: The U.S. lacks effective systems to counter drones The Washington Post, in an analysis, wrote: 🔺The U.S. lacks inexpensive and effective defense systems to counter drones, and has had to resort to using expensive and rare missiles to down Iran's low-cost drones. 🔺In response to one of Iran's recent attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan, American forces fired 60 to 70 Patriot missiles and over 12 THAAD interceptors. 🔺The extensive consumption of these munitions reduces America's air defense reserves and weakens its ability to potentially confront China, Russia, or North Korea. 🔺This shortage also limits the ability to supply the necessary defense missiles to Ukraine to counter Russian attacks.
