Difficult to say what they have left at this point. Given that there is now footage showing up of Iranian drones flying around emptied out US bases completely unchallenged, I'm guessing the problem is starting to get severe. Meanwhile, there is nowhere to get more interceptors. A large chunk of them has already been drained in Ukraine over the past four years, and US has been pulling them from allies that whole time. At this point there's not much left, and the US lacks the capacity to produce them in any significant numbers.
