Original Note:
Stinger missile costs have not increased to $400,000 USD. A recent order for 1300 stingers for $624m included substantial R&D and production line investment as it was out of production and obsolete requiring redesign. Subsequent orders would be far cheaper. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/raytheon-missiles--defense-awarded-624-million-for-stinger-missile-production-301556968.html
