Your first postulation is correct. The US is not prepared for drone warfare and it's showing. The US is firing expensive missiles to intercept cheap Shaheds. I suspect your second may also be true but idk.

There's got to be a certain degree of the defence department ordering a certain number then a lower number being delivered and 'oh dear, we don't know what happened to the others and the costs have risen so maybe the military should have an audit to find the missing money?......'
