It’ll be over 700 AIM-120s.

About what would be expended defending Taiwan or Japan or So Korea from the Chinese.

In the first 60 days.

We probably do not have the munitions to accomplish that task now and the Chinese could roll...suffering heavy initial losses...but prevailing over the long term.

Which is why you are (at the moment) arguing over pennies when you need megabucks.

This is insane.

This is the primary reason I was opposed to giving Ukraine F-16s. Now they are able to loot and then squander our stocks of missiles and other high tech weapon systems for our tactical fighters.

Heck, we might as well give the Ukrainians F-22s because they are pretty worthless without weapons to hang on them - which is what they will be after Biden is through bowing through our inventory.
