Tbf it's not exactly same as US. Iran is using those weapons in self-defense instead of invading random countries an ocean + sea + two geographic regions away.

    Also, we're apparently low on munitions, so we're failing at even spending our money on that.

    No wonder the Pentagon hasn't passed an audit in a decade or something!

    Actually the reason is the US uses 3M$ anti-missile missiles to intercept 20k$ drones. It was obvious from the start they would run out of them way while Iran would keep producing more of their drones (plus the ones they get from Russia).

    It's quite unbelievable they the US were so confident in their capabilities they didn't bother to learn anything from the war in Ukraine, where swarms of cheap drones have replaced advanced but costly missiles for years now.

    So the money may be genuinely used on weapons (and well, lobsters and steaks…). It's just spent stupid.
