When the U.S. military’s top general laid out the risks to President Trump of launching a major and extended attack on Iran, one of the issues he flagged was America’s stockpile of munitions.

...

But Israel has concerns about its munitions supply as well. It is still low on Arrow 3 air-defense interceptors, another U.S. official says. Israel is also low on air-launched ballistic missiles, a weapon it used to take out Iranian missile launchers this summer and to attack Hamas leaders in Qatar last year, the official said.

Jonathan Conricus, a former spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces who is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said he was “underwhelmed so far by the amount of missiles that the Iranians have been able to fire.”

Yeah, it is turning out to be a meat grinder for both as I understand it. But it's also depleted muntins of the US and it's allies. My understanding is that Russia relies on more conventional and cost effective equipment and munitions. I could be off base, but I think if those conditions were true then it could result in a fat L for the Axis of Epstein.
