But the sheer cost of some of these vehicles is amazing
Look at cost of the helmets
Please no
How much does a Standard issue American helmet cost?
Which branch?
Army?
The F-35 helmet is $400k each.
That's probably with all the fancy shit on it, Creative
Yeah it has all the crazy shit.
I'm talking BASE helmet
I think Guerilla Warfare is probably one of the most effective ways of modern fighting
Since you don't rely on super expensive technology
But on knowledge and bravery
Not sure the base cost of the ECH
Well, good night
Seems to be in the $400 range too
ACH is the last gen, ECH is the current but I think we're using both
Better than the PGST helmet but, not much more confortable
On the topic of Su-57 cost, nobody knows. Official estimation stands at 50 mil, since it's not in production yet, that figure can be thrown out of the window
100 mil was quoted for the indian version hence why they dropped out
*hugs his upgraded PSGT helmet*
su-57 will not cost 50 million after RND
they wont even make very many most likely
if they make them at all at this point
afaik they are kindof giving up
I thought the PAK-FA had been canned?
looks like they are supposedly flying prototypes right now still
with introduction in 2019
est 9 billion in RND so far
Yeah, they moved four into Syria in late February
assuming they make 100 planes, thats 90 million a unit in RND alone
its questionable how stealthy it is as well given that the engines have a cylindrical profile
not particularly carefully shaped airframe
maybe just stealthy from certain angles
which is reasonable
