Are you getting your figure from an updated source? The article says:
“The Air Force announced its final five-year purchasing contract forReapers in 2020, and manufacturer General Atomics closed the production line last year after building 575 of them. The final lot cost about $16 million each when purchased in a batch of four, according to C. Mark Brinkley, a General Atomics spokesman.”
I had heard anywhere from 15-50 depending on load out, $30M is from Ars,
I might've been wrong, of course. Million here, million there, soon you're talking about real money
Ok, $480,000,000
