RE: Re: The new US Army APC the Stinger

>Actually the Abrams was to have cost $1.5 million apiece when the
program
started. They ended up costing	$3 million with the first model 
acquired. It was later that the cost went up to $4.3 million as the
production program was dragged out over the years and changes were made
that had to be retrofitted.

Is that "cost of a single copy by itself" or "cost including R&D" or
"cost including spares and maintenance" or what?  All three figures
could be correct for the same vehicle, depending on what you're talking
about.
