So this is from the Royal United Services Institute.
It is one of the oldest, I believe it might be the oldest defense think tank in the world.
It's a UK-based think tank and very similar, let's say here to the United States, the CSIS, the
what is it, Center for Strategic Institute Studies, something like that.
But these are very respected defense think tanks, usually very tied into the military industrial complex and almost always actually have a pro-war bias.
However, they're very good at what they do.
They do a lot of analysis around interceptors, math, they read budget proposals, they look at open source, and they compile all the data together.
So I wanna be clear here, they don't have the exact data, but they have a very good track record.
Now here is what they warn.
Let's put my tweet, please, up here on the screen.
So the Royal United Service Institute now estimates Israel is days away from running out of aero interceptors and that the United States has already burned about 40% of the available THAAD stockpile in the Iran war and only has about three weeks left.
So let me linger here a little bit on all of the types of munitions, the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 munitions.
These are the interceptors that come up, hit the Iranian missiles.
By the way, they haven't even been working that well.
Do you notice, Crystal, the date on the projected depletion date?
March 27th, 2026.
The current date is March 26th.
Now they could be wrong.
They could be wrong.
This was based on the projections of the first 16 days of the conflict.
