Well $80000 Javelin was suprased by $800 FPV drone. Nature is healing.

Damn, it's almost like state-level actors can afford more than isolated humans can....

Ain't inflation a bitch.
>As of Fiscal Year 2021, a G-model Javelin missile cost approximately $216,717, while the Lightweight Command Launch Unit (CLU) was around $249,700, according to Defense Advancement.

The problem is that the Javelin is using the peak of 1980s military tech to make a missile rather than current consumer parts. The whole guidance system could be replaced with less then $200 worth of parts, but instead the military is stuck buying $40,000 worth of custom nonsense from 35 years ago.

All those cheap commercial parts are made overseas, the MIC buys American which means TI can ask whatever they want.

They literally don't and are in violation of the law.

They don't violate the law anon, they would never overcharge it just that their suppliers (which happen to be owned by the same parent company) insist on charging $500 per bolt.
