Javelins cost 100x more than the T72 they destroy. How much money are we wasting in Ukraine?

[Devils_Advocate]

It's true. Russia has 40,000 armored vehicles from 1970s sitting in storage. Amortized that costs about $10,000

1970’s former Soviet equipment… Wow, scary… Well for those using that outdated shit!

And so is your brain (from common sense).

Sad day when Candycorn and I agree on something besides sports…

Bullshit OP headline.




— According to The Economic Times —

Javelin anti-tank missile, symbol of Ukraine's resistance

Images of Ukrainian troops carrying Javelin missile launchers on their shoulders have flashed around the world, making the anti-tank weapon -- capable of piercing the most sophisticated armor, and particularly useful in guerrilla warfare -- a symbol of Ukrainian resistance to Russia's invasion.

if the initial price was rounded up to $200k, then according to the genius OP, the tanks only cost $2,000.00 each.

Putin need better trolls…

Ukraine definitely isn't going to pay. So every dollar spent in Ukraine is a a dollar wasted against about $0.015 cents. Since Russia spends 80th on their weapons that we do.

A javelin, as an example, is worth 100x more per shot than a T82B3 tank.

Let that sink in.

There is no T82B3 tank.

Never used ignore, don't plan to start now. But I just usually pass over his commie bullshit, probably should have this time. What I really don't understand is why this kind of crap is left in the politics forum.

.

I have Pete (bodecea ) on ignore because it's a stalker and was flooding my PM box.

That's it though.

Most of the tradition trolls like Shitting Bull and Leech work for the CCP.

Let that sink in.

Javelin: $178k, incl launcher.
The missile itself costs about $78k

It's very true. I'm sorry you don't know the value of things

Oh, the irony.
