From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The current price of one unit is $230,000, but when it enters mass production the price is expected to drop to between $150,000 and $180,000. Even in cold economic terms, the SWORD is still cheaper to destroy than a soldier, who takes years and approx. $50,000 USD to get to operational status."

What the darn? $150,000 is clearly not cheaper than $50,000.

last paragraph

[edit]

Sorry, but the last paragraph is hilarious. "On the firing range, these two-foot little high robots are lethal" ?? Whow, they shoot living beings as targets on firing ranges ? But anyway, this is not the point, right, since the shooting range is clearly the most accurate and appropriate way to evaluate the quality of a weapon system, especially a robot ! Come on !

And "the SWORDS are the snipers motto, "one shot, one kill""... Can't it be made slightly less like a builder's advertising prospectus ?

I won't even mention the fact that we are talking about a waepon system, designed to kill living people, who would typically deserve more respect than the price for their burial or the comparison with paper targets on a shooting range... Rama 14:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
