Ukraine will never have enough of those, US can't build 500 missiles a year and the hit rate is below 50% so even if we assume hit rate is 50% than they can stop only 250 missile a year. That's just 2 months of stoping Russian missiles attack. This situation is when Russia still didn't played Iranian and Chinese missiles card. It's also at point when Russia wiped out all power plants it could wipe out and it takes more than 2 months to repair those.

We're sending our patriots over to them too. At least we sometimes get cool drone footage in exchange
