Welcome back P-38.

It's a 9000 nautical mile range turboprop with a payload of 1 LRASM. The manufacturer claims a swarm of these are 10x cheaper than traditional bombers.

This is slightly higher than the USAF's MMA (Massed Modular Aircraft) requirements.

Each unit is 1/10th the cost of a traditional bomber or a swarm of them is 1/10th the cost of a traditional bomber?

A swarm of them is 10x cheaper than traditional bombers delivering an equal number of LRASMs. The MMA contract has a $10m unit cost cap for reference.

It uses the same engine as a Reaper and is basically filling the same role, but for peer war at Pacific ranges.

If Swarm can make these for what the USAF is asking then yes buy the 500 that will fulfill the MMA replacement of the Reaper.
