minus-squareBelieveRevolt [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down2·edit-21 year agoI think the companies that supply the US military charge like $50 for a bottle of water or something. In the competitive environment before the companies consolidated, a shoulder-fired stinger missile cost $25,000 in 1991. With Raytheon, Assad’s former employer, now the sole supplier, it costs more than $400,000 to replace each missile sent to Ukraine. Even accounting for inflation and some improvements, that’s a seven-fold increase. looool edit: in case you didn’t click the link, Assad isn’t
