>The financial asymmetry is stark: a $20,000 Iranian Shahed drone is countered by a $4 million Patriot missile, raising concerns about long-term sustainability
@Xenophon @BarelyEagle @Terry They were at 400 shaheds per day production level before the the demon nation attacked.. would imagine that went into high gear..
@HonkHonkBoom @Xenophon @BarelyEagle where are you getting this info about Iran producing 400 Shaheds a day?
>Iran is alleged to produce up to 400 Shahed-class drones per day, according to Israeli estimates cited in reporting from February 2026. This production rate, if accurate, would allow Iran to manufacture over 146,000 drones annually, enabling rapid replenishment and expansion of its drone arsenal even during active conflict.
If the US generals spent some time playing 4x/total war/hoi4 theyd understand the economics of war better😤

@Xenophon @Terry @BarelyEagle @HonkHonkBoom Turns out bolting 400 weed whackers to 400 fiberglass bodies and filling them with explosives is actually pretty effective
As a HOI4 player I went back in time to tell Hitler how win and there was a line. After a few hours of waiting I just went home, true story.
