Are enough being manufactured to supply Ukraine and still have some in reserve in case Putler decides he wants Helsinki or something?

About 133 given to Ukraine per year.

About 1500 used in Iran.

About 800 left in US stockpile.

About 600 produced per year.

Current wats have proven that the U.S. needs ability to manufacture about a thousand a day. You have to assume the enemy, whoever they are, is going to scale their production of missiles if we start shooting them down - unless we are so over producing them that they figure there's no point because they can't catch up anyway.
