minus-squarehuf [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·edit-21 year agoas per recent article posted to this hexbear, US-made artillery shells cost 5-6k/shell, russian equivalents cost 500-600 per shell. therefore this is at best an 8M dollar stealth fighter, but probably more like 1M, since the grift must be higher on these things than on shells.
