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

Ain't inflation a bitch.

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.

the javelin uses the shittiest parts available to make a piece of shit rather than something that works

Anyone who knows anything about the javelin understands that. The only thing it can do is blow up immobile targets and PoW's. Truly one of the most overhyped and underperforming weapons in the US arsenal.

Just threaten the congress member's and MIC oligarch's family?
Throw one or two out a window as a warning?
Like seriously has nobody been taking notes?
