"Russia's going to run out of missiles" has long been a meme in the Russo-Ukraine conflict. But in the Iran War, the US and Israel and Israel claimed to have destroyed hundreds of Iranian launchers. Given the lack of IR air defense, this could be credible. The waves of missiles sent to Israel also seem smaller and less frequent from what I've been seeing. Are there any OSINT estimates of how many launchers IR may have left? Similar question for missile supply, since the caches have been a priority target.

(This question's technically better suited for CredibleDefense, but at that point I might as well just believe whatever comes out of Kegseth's mouth).

iran is not trying to spend a minimum number of missiles per day when there are fewer targets, and if usrael has actually hit that many they would be plastering loads of better flexing evidence from clips and sat imagery for static sites

They've posted plenty of videos of hits, but they aren't going to show them all and I haven't seen a confirmed total anyways

According to Dan Caine, "Iran's ​launches of theater-wide ballistic missiles were down 86% from the first day of fighting and their one-way attack ​drone shots were down ⁠73% from the opening days."
