I'm hearing they cost under 40K US dollars per unit, 2400 is a 100Mil purchase, chump change, but a possible game changer with the US pouring in high value weapons systems, with a much higher cost per unit.

Be nice about this stage if Israel flexed and took out the manufacturing arm, as a show of reach, they have the means. One can dream.

I guess what I am saying is modern air defenses at a cost per unit is not sustainable given new weapon systems being procured and fielded by the USSR. Challenge me vs a scatter-gun of tweets.

I mean should there really be any mercy for Russia after this? Ukraine crossed a red line by bombing a key bridge? How many red lines has Russia crossed by raping wo.en, bombing shelters and apartments and committing genocide with all the mass Graves being found? How any human being can side with Russia on this is well beyond my ability to understand.

Gotcha. The tweet read as "today" and sounded like something hot off the presses. I was just pointing out the date of the tweet in case that wasn't noticed.

I actually remember this, I think, in the lead up to the original attack/invasion.
