October 23, 20241 yr Thank you sir, for some reason I'm surprised there have been that many THAAD produced. At least we are somewhat ramping up SM-6 acquisition, manufacturing 300/yr is a start. SM-3 BlkIIB numbers are a little less anemic than BlkIIA but even 43/yr isn't much when you get into a more intense war.
