And that's the big sticking point with a defense system built around

assemble them and fire them off, and get a flyaway cost under $10K
and a PK of .25 or so. But I won't buy that the same will hold true
once the weapons are stored a month or two, or a couple of years.

they're not making enough money, and start appropriating parts from
those missiles to use for other purposes.

The drinking of aclohol-based radar coolant by Soviet-era troops comes
to mind, but since we have a couple of thousand SUVs in a not-nice
country, there would be a huge tendency for the troops to "borrow" the
vehicles for quick defections to wherever seemed nicer.
