At a price of 1.7 million per missile , American taxpayers spent about 12 million bucks for that attack to kill a bunch of Russian conscripts who should be home chasing girls.

As Lindsey Graham says, we are killing lots of Russians and it's the best money we ever spent. /Sarc

Linda is also really excited about all the Ukraine natural resources to be stolen.

Cluster warhead HIMARS missiles are effectively no cost, because these were all old munitions on the disposition list.

This was the standard ammo of the MLRS rocket system, dating to the 1980’s. HIMARS uses the same ammo as the MLRS, its just that the launcher is smaller and more mobile.

Since the US tacitly accepted the UN CCM convention on cluster munitions it has not made new ones - or since the whole thing first became a controversy. I doubt any new US cluster munitions have been made in 20 years.

To add insult to injury, I wonder how much the CIA is paying this clown to spam our forum.
