Is it really 14 years worth of missiles if you use them in 30 days in an actual war? Surely you measure your 'days' worth of missiles based on expected usage in scenarios where you actually have to use them? So in reality, they used 30 days worth of missiles in 30 days, they just massively underestimated how many missiles they'd need in those 30 days.
I'd say it depends on if you're using the missiles effectively.
Targeting elementary schools because the hallucination machine you decided to give command and control authorization told you to, is not effective use.
