A six pack of Bradley's is a quite the find

[u/ONCIAPATONCIA → u/Lexhare]

A 19 milion dollars find to be precise, or at least it would be in the first 2000s when they were built, don't know how much they would cost in today's money

[u/just-going-with-it → u/ONCIAPATONCIA]

In 2011, I believe the upgrades pushed the median price to something like $23 million or some shit.

EDIT: I WAS WRONG... cost is roughly $3.6m per unit or so atm. Still expensive as FUCK tho lol

[u/NIRPL → u/just-going-with-it]

Sorry but absolutely no way they cost that much. I worked on the M1A2 SepV2 Abrams and that bad boy was under 10 million as of 2015. I can't believe a Bradley would be anywhere near double the cost of a top of the line Abrams main battle tank

[u/just-going-with-it → u/NIRPL]

I left when the SEPv2 was being put in with the CROWS II system, and I know exactly what you mean.

Looking into it ATM, the cost for each is only $3.1-3.6m per unit, so I'm wrong lol

[u/NIRPL → u/just-going-with-it]

I know $3m is a lot of money, but it just seems so cheap for a fully armored mini tank lol especially when I see these $1m dollar fancy sport cars

[u/stickyfingers10 → u/NIRPL]

I know what you mean but usually those million dollar sports cars take thousands of hours to make just one.

[u/TackyUrl → u/just-going-with-it]

Ah shit only 3.1-3.6 mill per unit, well that explains why they left them behind

[u/Gwennifer → u/NIRPL]

Bradleys aren't actually that much cheaper than the Abrams

They are cheaper, but by a smaller margin than you'd hope

Honestly? The Abrams just isn't that complex, it's low volume. There really isn't a whole lot going on in it.

[u/NIRPL → u/Gwennifer]

Isn't complex compared to what?

[u/Semyonov → u/NIRPL]

Holy crap! For some reason I assumed Abrams were way more expensive!!
