because of the chips act. did you ever notice how it came into effect right when putin invaded ukraine? computer chips guide the missiles and there are like 200 onboard, which is like $500k worth of chips. anyways, it takes several months to grow 1 single crystal silicon with czochralski method. and thats not even the costs of zone refinement which take weeks. so, biden got all the equipment banned and now russia is using 80s tech to make like 100 missiles per year. thats why he threw a fit when atacms were authorized to strike in the interior. he now has to use his own stockpile to intercept them. so one missile used in interception is 1 missile that could have been used in ukraine
