minus-squarehuf [he/him]hexbear25·edit-21 year agoas per recent article posted to this hexbear, US-made artillery shells cost 5-6k/shell, russian equivalents cost 500-600 per shell. therefore this is at best an 8M dollar stealth fighter, but probably more like 1M, since the grift must be higher on these things than on shells. link
