I think that the S-400 rocket costs at least 10 times cheaper

[Wheel]

It is time to introduce the main criterion for "five" generations - cost.
Here users are beyond competition.

[kil 31]

It is necessary to show next to compare the prices of our classmates and other countries. If the difference is read by their taxpayers. Probably the color revolution will be in Washington.

[Pravdarm]

expenses per hour of flight - $ 206 337

Why, will they loot him with loot?

[Kasym]

F-22 and F-35 also pleased, especially in operational cost - a day of flight for a million shot.
The Israelis also write about the constant, after each flight, reprogramming.

If it's rude, then somewhere like this:
1. The cost of the aircraft.
2. The cost of fuel.
3. The work of ground personnel (ongoing maintenance of equipment).
4. The work of flight personnel.
5. Replacing the left nodes.
if you look like ours, then
The tactical unit is a regiment. These are 40 cars, of which 6 are twin.
With a leisurely option (with the scoop, it was noticeably more painful) the attack on the combat vehicle will be 100 hours, on the spark - 200 hours.
Combat - 34x100 = 3400 hours
Sparky 6x200 = 1200 hours
Total 4600 regiment hours per year.

A regiment is provided as a minimum:
- The entire staff of the regiment (one and a half set of pilots at least, and the rest of the composition like dirt)
- OBATO
- Communication battalion
- The medical unit.
- Helicopter link. (should be).
All this must be kept with a salary (and the same resource, etc., by a meat processing plant of helicopters)
These costs should be divided into 4600 hours and the amount received should be added to the above.

In combat training, the cost of TSA, training grounds and CP does not, of course, enter here.
This is where the cost is calculated.

These costs include the purchase of the aircraft itself (depreciation for the designated life), training of pilots and training to maintain skills, providing basing and maintenance of the machine, as well as the purchase of fuel, spare parts and ammunition.

The cost of one missile carrier TU-160 is about $ 250 million.

[Shadowcat]

Which may correspond to the B-1B Lancer ($ 317 million, $ 58)

[Pereira]

It will not.
We earn money, and they print. How much is needed, so much will be printed. And for these pieces of paper, the elites of other countries will gladly give them their resources, people, sovereignty and conscience.

It is necessary to show close by for comparison

Meanwhile, people are scaring people in the local CZ boulevard about the creation of the PAK TA bomber by the Russians, which will fit 400 Armat or 900 light assault tanks [here the Democrats will conquer from shame and envy, and the designers from that nonsense that feed the people of the local media]. there will be a super plane at a speed of 2000 km / h - I’ll think it’s loaded to the eyeballs with Armata, and how many paratroopers there will fit, plus the Buryat armored horse-drawn police will fit in.

Superletadlo jménem PAK TA představila v Moskvě armádně-průmyslová komise, která uvedla, že letadlo by mělo létat rychlostí 2000 km / hod a bude se moci pochlubit možností extrémního zatí. PAK TA by zejména měla sloužit k přepravování nejnovějších bojových tanků Armata, kterých by letka strojů PAK TA mohla být schopna pojmout až 400, nebo například 900 lehčích výsadkových tanků. Letadla vybavená plně automatizovaným systémem na nakládku a vykládku by měla být prý schopna přistát v jakémkoli terénu tak, aby ruská armáda byla připéné papyens odpjensh odpjensh odpovens

More expensive doesn't mean better. Let them dig money, what sadness is it for us? We have to take care of our own, build hundreds of planes, cheaper and better.

[Mavrikiy]

Yes, quit. While they have a printing press, they can still draw zero in value and WILL NOT BE ANYTHING. They will also build and fly. Paying with resources of the whole world.

And the anti-aircraft shell is even cheaper. Agree that comparing the cost of a unit of military equipment and the cost of the ammunition that destroys it is not entirely correct.

Quote: Tibidokh

Counting:
- hay: 0.5pood / day x 0.5 $ / pood = 0.25 $ / day
- grain: 0.5kg / day x 0.5 $ / kg = 0.25 $ / day
- salary of a donkey driver: $ 1000 / month = $ 34 / day
Total: per day - 0.25 + 0.25 + 34 = $ 35 / day

The cost of one hour of operation of a burro - 35/24 = ~ 1.5 $ / hour

PS. Prices are from a lantern. Salary - too. Expenses for "technical" maintenance of the donkey (washing, grooming, etc., I don’t know what, troubles) are not included.

And what to publish it? Everyone already knows him! Or is it for those who still do not know (US Senate)?

[Pereira]

It’s just that we earn money for a rocket, and they print for planes.
So the price for the USA is secondary.
It seems to me that all the scandals in the United States associated with exorbitant costs for military equipment are caused by the banal envy of those who were not allowed to cut the budget.

Somehow in the training, the battalion commander answered questions, one of the moments was a discussion of the life time of the air defense system in the clash with the B-52, the battalion commander replied literally, if we can shoot down 1 B-52, then with the money that it costs, we can build 10 of our air defense systems, level them with land and for the remainder of the money to build another air defense system.

- convertiplane CV-22B ($ 90 million, $ 65);

V-22 Osprey holds about 5 tons of fuel. USMC buys its JP at 2 bucks per kilo (a gallon of JP-8 costs less than 3, it's 3.7 liters. Osprey will gobble up its tank for 4 hours. It turns out $ 7500 per hour of fuel burning. The coolest thing there is probably insurance for aircraft, pilots and infantry.

One hour of a B-2 flight costs $ 128.

Good joke!
B61 carcass - 325 kg. This is to carry on hand at normal walking speed, you need 46 healthy foot soldiers. Where they will bring the bomb from the base in Kansas City. Say, to Vladivostok - 9750 km. Going around the clock is unrealistic, you need breaks for the night and feeding. Counting 16 hours of the march per day with interruptions, they will stomp 122 days. Yes, and the meaning, i.e. how they trample on the sea-ocean. Yes, it is also necessary to solder or pull the kitchen behind them, and tents. Or you can give out the per diem for the hotel and the restaurant, then they won’t be able to go for 16 hours either - until you check out at the hotel you will check out, while you will wait for the order in the restaurant.
In general - a foolish joke.

[kote119]

why take the stranger’s grandmothers, their convertiplanes have been flying for a long time, and we only have mock-ups that we are actively applauding. We need to think about what we fly and how much we can afford airplanes, helicopters, etc.

[engineer74]

With such a price of a flight hour, a piece of the fence will fly ...
The high cost of operation can be explained by the unreliability of the design or low resource, so this is also more likely a layout, only valid.

And the anti-aircraft shell is even cheaper. Agree that comparing the cost of a unit of military equipment and the cost of the ammunition that destroys it is not entirely correct.

Why not correct? I cited an example of real weapons that can destroy any of these aircraft in a combat situation, that is, when the target maneuvers, interferes, is made using stealth technology, flies at an altitude of 12000 m from a speed of 1.5 M, is at a distance of 300 km, then an anti-aircraft shell powerless, and on the ground, these aircraft can be put out of action and put out of order by pushing him into the air intake.

[Lopatov]

special operations aircraft AC-130H ($ 210 million, $ 173)

I remember that there was talk about American "Hanships", they say "cheap and cheerful" and "we need it too."

However, it’s not so cheap, even when compared with the F-22, which is almost considered a high cost standard.

[sharp-lad]

It seems that this championship palm will be taken away by F 35.

A soldier can be killed with a single bullet from a Kalashnikov assault rifle, given that raising a child (kindergarten, school) and training a soldier is 5-6 orders of magnitude more expensive, then according to your logic, using infantry does not make any sense, this is a completely useless waste of effort and resources

Of course, they are not afraid of us, but there are small and weak countries to whom these scoundrels can direct them to make a shit.

The fact of the matter is that these planes were created not for weak countries, but precisely in the confrontation with ours, and for weak countries the use of such expensive aircraft is simply about nothing ...

Very good, the more expensive the better, let them spend it. You can’t do a lot of expensive airplanes, which means you can do less air defense systems.

and what's the point in these B2 and raptors? gathering dust in hangars - with such a price of service they’ll fly into the chimney - in reality, even AWACs cost a little an hour of flight — one thing is bad - they can afford it while we sponsor them ...

[silent]

if you take into account what kind of wages they have, then the cost of everything that is stated is true, they would print even more and even draw a toe from the bottom wouldn’t disappear, only where to take the material for their bloated bucks is more expensive than their planes!
