I would challenge this view:
a) every price point - definitely not the low end
b) in very large numbers - definitely not 6 digit numbers we see in Ukraine
c) Ukraine IS the most hostile EW environment, and various US weapon systems do not fare that great there
Yes, US were the first movers and invested a lot - but into expensive high-end systems (and not really tested in challenging EW environment), not ubiquitous low-end. Presumably they are catching-up. Maybe. They are not catching-up in building warships.
