The inefficiencies and price overruns in US procurement of military equipment are legendary.
I guess we should look at the cost of the bom for a tank, not what government pays for it.
Not that tanks are cheap but I think manifacturing cost is substantially lower than 10m.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoI'm not very informed on tanks, but IIRC the Armata series are their next-generation tanks, and they cost like 3-4 million each. Invading Ukraine would be the opportunity to throw old stockpile nevertheless, much like the bombing of Afghanistan helped replace old USA bomb stockpile.
- astrange 5y agoThe common opinion seems to be that the T-14 Armata is vaporware, and their newest tank is the T-90 which they are using - and having stolen by farmers.
