Well, it turns out I may have underestimated the cost of the Paveway bombs we have been dropping on ISIL. I still cant get a definitive acquisition cost for the Paveway Mk IV, but it turns out that in any case, Paveway refers to the guidance system, and may not actually include the cost of the bomb, which will cost you (ie me, you and all of us) a bomb. Paveway is retrofitted to ordinary munitions to turn them from dumb bombs into smart bombs, but I still dont know whether that $21,896 acquisition cost for the Paveway II includes the cost of the bomb. Its a bit like batteries not included, if it doesnt. Amazing what you find out when you start digging
