DOA due to cost?The U.S. military's next generation AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile is built to hunt stealth fighters, but its price is raising serious concerns. Each missile costs around $5.8 million. A full load of six on an F-35A Block 4 comes out to nearly $35 million, over a third of the jet's value.
>>65244106How can you put a cost on killing chinks?
>>65244108a price
>>65244108>>65244158I would starve 1,000 niglets to death to splash one chink jet.
>>65244106I thought that price looked ridiculous, and from what I can find online you’re quoting it at about double what is being spent to procure it. In fact you seem to have sourced this retarded number from military watch magazine, quoting an FMS sale to Australia, which always include more than just the missiles and cost more than they do for the country producing it.
>>65244232>military watch magazineAh yes another source of the Global South, BRICSbros rising.
>Each missile costs around $5.8 million.No they don't my wumao friend.
>>65244106Post a source or fuck off. Even if the price was your posted price, the US will have no problems in producing these days to kill chinks and other sub humans
This board is like 50% gay and lame disinfo from turdies and reddit now, holy shit
>>65244390>now
source-less statements aside, I hate context-less price figures which pop up in news etc. It doesn't tell you what the program cost % is, how procurement count affects unit costs etc. That is key for allowing taxpayers and politicians to form well-reasoned opinions on the subject, but of course all everyone cares about are headlines and the gibs they can get for their state.
>>65244106Chinkcels were beating their chests over how impressive their 'AWACS killer's were and laughing about how the USAF's entire arsenal was now obsolete, until this bad boy showed up. Whos laughing now, hmmmm?
>>65244367Are you retarded? I've actually made things for MIC and they will pay anything and accept trash as long as it is on time.Cost will decrease with proliferation but Navy and AF doesn't give a fuck what it costs. Billions is necessary waste in MIC/Defense spending.
>>65244864Moron you can clear this up with a quick google search, US budgets are public. Per unit cost is about $3.4 million for US military customers.
>>65244390i hate reddit so much it's unreal
>>65244864>surejen.gif
>>65244106>Each missile costs around $5.8 millionat what production rates? surely if they ramp up to thousands per year it goes down
Implessive. How are those J20s and stealth detecting radars coming along?
