High class piece of military junk.
tere is no way that thing worth 1.5 B $, maybe 1.5 B rubbles
There is no way that cost is correct.
Big rc plane
I’ll give you $3.50 for it.
That’s how much the Russian state pays. Many hundreds of millions have to be spent on each of the various oligarchs on the way down before the factory builds it for about 15 million…
Should be reworded to recovered stealth drone wreckage. No way that things intact.
$1.5 billion in development costs people.
You gotta wonder what the Russians were doing flying it there though.
That price is pure bs. Nothing special about that thing. Basically an SU-27 engine stuck on a flying wing. It’s about as stealth as a school bus.
I have a guy in Vegas that can give you an estimate.
Oh boy, does Forbes love to put a “spin” in their titles. The $1.5 billion was the entire development cost of the POS-70 “Stealth” drone. Sorry… typeo…. S-70.
It says they only built 2, but apparently, the model number says S-70-04. So there may have been 4. Now 3. Officially, the russians say they only made 2. Each one after development costs; again, according to the russians, it should be $15 to $20 million each.
All this should be taken with a gain of salt.
This build was HUGE.. tell me- what could they possibly be on to here? A damn slapped on su- jetengine? It’s obviously not for recog. What kind of arsenal on its belly? Nuclear capa? Glidebombs?
Gotta give this kinda project the CCCP -CRAZY MACHINES stamp of approval
I guess if you take the construction, research and development costs and divide by airframes… It could be that high.
The costs of 1.6B are in rubles, in USD it’s 18M.
More like salvaged its remains.
Capture is a stretch, they own the burning wreck after it cratered into the ground, yes.
I mean, you guys captured it why the whole ‘according to forbes’ deal. Did you or didn’t you?
^(It’s still sitting there, isn’t it.)
Stealth? There’s hundreds of exposed fasteners and raised rivet heads on the 30 sq ft surface that crashed, it looks like a cheap chinese dollarstore riff on a B2 meant to look cool, and it was designed to hunt enemy aircraft?
Why were they so worried about it falling into Ukrainian hands, were they worried they would discover some 30 year old stealth technology lololol!

Man such great “stealth” gets shot down by random shitty su LOL. Obviously not stealth if it can be locked on like that.
SONY’s cmos? or FairChild’s?
Well I hope they don’t plug in the drone computers to their personal PC
“Stealth”.
