The production rate is the actual constraint. Lockheed manufactures THAAD interceptors at roughly 15-20 per year in recent batches. If the US burned through over half its inventory likely 150+ interceptors given total stockpile estimates you're looking at 7-10 years of production to replenish at current rates. The Pacific complaints aren't just posturing. Guam has one THAAD battery, South Korea has one, and the planning assumption has been surge capacity available for Taiwan contingencies. That margin just disappeared defending Israel from a threat its own multi-layer system (Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow) was largely managing. The question isn't whether Israel deserved the support it's whether depleting a strategic reserve for a partner with extensive indigenous defenses was the call to make when you've been telling allies in the Pacific to wait their turn.

Title says 23.05.2026. Assuming that's a typo for 2025, not that we're getting drone strike footage from next year. Admiral Essen's been a recurring target since Sevastopol got too hot. Novorossiysk has been handling more Black Sea Fleet operations, which makes the oil storage hit at Grushovaya Balka harder to absorb fuel logistics and naval operations in the same strike package.
