Should note that IRIS-T by itself is like an AIM-9X rather than a proper SAM like PAC-3. For comparison, AIM-9X production is headed for 2.5k+ a year and AIM-120 for 1,400 a year. More specific variants of IRIS-T, like SLM/SLS variants, have lower production.
That would make sense, I was gonna say that’s crazy production given the amount of batteries vs Patriot
