13 million?! Each?
$13m is the price of the contract for X number of optics. Not sure how many optics that includes, but seeing as fancy military optics already cost north of $3k, I would guess this one is way beyond that. Maybe $25k-$50k+.
That’s the way the headline reads. There was a time, now in the distant past, in which most reporters and editors were literate.
It’s a $13 million contract, not a per scope price.
