    Nah you don’t get it, that extra 3mm is actually the source of the cost since it’s made out of solid gold, and obviously if it costs more it must be better. So it’s actually very normal for an artillery round to cost that much.

    Please ignore the fact that gold wouldn’t even be close to that price because it ruins my joke.

      Russian military industrial complex is highly centralized and nationalized. We buy weapons from Russia regularly. Though Russian aircrafts need some work.

        Huh, I thought those deals got kind of quietly rolled back, and India went on to produce homemade weapons? At least I think that was the case with assault rifles

          We don’t manufacture much and even if we do some its not a big scale production, we are buying newer weapons like S400 and we love BrahMos type missiles which was a joint venture between India and Russia (although it will be mostly Russia’s contribution) .
