Bolo

2018-12-26 02:53:41 UTC  

Like, how much does an Abrams cost?

2018-12-26 02:54:07 UTC  

"For the Honor of the Regiment"

2018-12-26 02:54:19 UTC  

Such a great series of stories

2018-12-26 02:54:42 UTC  

An Abrams as I can find out

2018-12-26 02:54:46 UTC  

Costs millions

2018-12-26 02:55:06 UTC  

Apparently 6mil but if they reuse old parts it's closer to 2mil.

2018-12-26 02:55:24 UTC  

A lot of money

2018-12-26 02:55:46 UTC  

A shitload less than an F35

2018-12-26 02:55:51 UTC  

How much is that worth in some really good air to ground missiles?

2018-12-26 02:55:55 UTC  

Planes are much more and have a smaller payload.

2018-12-26 02:56:16 UTC  

And aren't as good for close quarters.

2018-12-26 02:56:34 UTC  

They are good at destroying big areas though.

2018-12-26 02:56:53 UTC  

I wouldn't bring an Abrams to close quarters

2018-12-26 02:57:00 UTC  

In the fear of losing it

2018-12-26 02:57:10 UTC  

I'd instead use Humvees

2018-12-26 02:57:45 UTC  

The Abrams could sit on a hill a good amount back and support

2018-12-26 02:58:13 UTC  

An F-22 is about $678 million.

2018-12-26 02:58:34 UTC  

Fantastic

2018-12-26 02:58:51 UTC  

What does an F18 go for these days?

2018-12-26 02:59:08 UTC  

Probably a lot

2018-12-26 02:59:10 UTC  

Is the F15 line still open even?

2018-12-26 02:59:27 UTC  

Like 57 million.

2018-12-26 02:59:35 UTC  

I think the Japanese are still making F15Js

2018-12-26 03:00:05 UTC  

The F15 and F18 still had a lot of potential in their airframes

2018-12-26 03:00:06 UTC  

Think about being that one officer

2018-12-26 03:00:19 UTC  

In the Air Force

2018-12-26 03:00:31 UTC  

That had one of his F-22s shot down

2018-12-26 03:00:57 UTC  

That's why the captain goes down with the ship.

2018-12-26 03:01:42 UTC  

We could outfit an entire squadron of F15s or F18s, kit and all, for the cost of one F35

2018-12-26 03:01:52 UTC  

Sigh

2018-12-26 03:02:01 UTC  

Welp, the 678 million dollar air craft got shot down, I guess it's time to eat some lead.

2018-12-26 03:02:52 UTC  

How much does a modern russian jet cost?

2018-12-26 03:04:32 UTC  

I need to know this

2018-12-26 03:04:34 UTC  

50-100 million.

2018-12-26 03:04:45 UTC  

For the Su-57.

2018-12-26 03:05:04 UTC  

And how much for an F-35?

2018-12-26 03:05:44 UTC  

About the same.

2018-12-26 03:06:10 UTC  

89-107 million depending on the type.

2018-12-26 03:06:28 UTC  

Jesus Christ these are expensive

2018-12-26 03:06:46 UTC  

You could lower the cost just by introducing competition.
Government would spend 4 billion dollars on a toilet seat cover.
