True but development cost is still a factor when considering the cost of a unit. In the F-22 example, by the time all 184 fighters are purchased by the air force, a further $34 billion would have been spent on the procurement for a total program cost of $62 billion or $339 million per aircraft with the incremental cost for additional units to be $138 million.

Or at least as best I can remember.

Yes Tieria stated that such reaction was in the scope of Veda's plan, however I thought it was pretty obvious that the other meisters did not particularly share his disregard for civillian casualties.
