Description:
On Dialogue Works, Larry Johnson digs into a reported US push to massively expand THAAD and PAC-3 interceptor stocks—what a roughly tenfold ammo surge says about expected threat volume, production bottlenecks, and how thin Western air-defense magazines already are.
He pairs that industrial signal with battlefield news from the Arabian Peninsula: Yemeni rockets striking Saudi command infrastructure, and what that implies for Riyadh’s security perimeter and for any coalition still treating missile defense as a clean technological fix.
Johnson’s frame is practical rather than theatrical: interceptor economics, salvo math, and the gap between stockpiles on paper and sustained high-intensity conflict. Escalation risk sits in the logistics, not only in the headlines.
