BDA after the Serbian campaign, 1992 Gulf War and other engagements have shown that we count as "destroyed" multiple times in numbers than they, our adversaries, actually possessed. Do not forget how much punishment North Vietnam took from American bombers and stayed in the fight -- to the end.
They are firing less missiles because the ones they are now using do multiple times the damage of the volleys they fired initially to deplete Israeli/American interceptors.
This, "they are running out of launchers", etc. are simply talking points to dodge the disaster this has been and is. Remember when Russia was "out of missiles" in UKR 3 + years ago? They were not and are not.
