I'm just offended that it costed $187 million.

The US Navy has ordered 68 of the aircraft, which had a reported total program cost of $12.7 billion.

That's.... a nonsensical amount of money. It should be able to dodge missiles for that price. Hell, it should be invisible.

187 Million USD for one drone is just outrageous. I tought that 70-100 million USD per one new F-35 fighter is a lot, but the drones are costing 2 times that.

Speaking about the response, I doubt that US will respond with a strike, they would risk huge military escalations.
