State department confirmed approval of 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munitions, an air launched cruise missile with a 500lb warhead, to Ukraine.

Buying that many missiles means they are buying full support, logistics, training, etc. With all that it works out to about $250K per missile. Probably between $200K and $225K for just the missile. Interesting that they are talking about shipping the first missiles in 6 weeks (according to TWZ) yet we haven’t even learned who makes it or what it looks like. Good to see the US moving faster on weapons like this. Normally it would take 10+ years.

Read that the price tag includes other systems and/or munitions so price per unit will be less perhaps much less
