I read a HIMARS costs about 6 million each. A box of rockets (6) cost about a million per box.
You were looking at it as an individual investment which is probably right by what they are telling us. I was referring to the contract cost to build them under the basic investment.
“In 2019, Lockheed Martin was awarded a $492 Million Contract for High Mobility Artillery Rocket System Launchers and related equipment.”
We would probably meet somewhere in the middle but that’s what uncle sugar is saying the cost the taxpayer is paying for the product whether they build one or one hundred. That, of course, includes dealer prep, port fees, but not destination charge. That’s extra. And knowing how the money handlers for the citizens are manipulated, and they want to get re-elected, that’s probably low.
