          Keep in mind they probably spent more than that amount of money on R&D / aqua-hiring.

          It’s a lot of money, but still not enough to be a commercially successful product for at least a few more years.

            Over 700 million? I find that dubious. 700 million is a lot of money isnt it? Thats what I’d expect a tank or a jet to cost in R&D.

              R&D for a jet or tank is significantly more. To not throw out nonsense some quick googling told me the R&D just for an upgrade of the Abrams tank (which is old) is $650m and the total R&D of the F22 jet over two decades was $32B…

                Well, nice to know somebody lives in such a peaceful part of the planet to not be interested in cost of creating a tank or a jet.

                    I meant that the person you were answering to is happy to never have been interested in those things.

                    Say, there are countries where people are genuinely interested in whether their government is able to create some kind of a MIC and a functioning military as a deterrent in following years with the budget they have.
