And then what?
Mass production?
"Impossible!"
Liu Jiankun thought carefully and knew it was impossible. The performance of Warhawk-1 is indeed high-end, but the cost is too high. He paid close attention to the cost of the first prototype, which exceeded ten billion.
It's certain that the cost of a prototype will be higher, but some parts of Warhawk-1 can't enter mass production quickly, which means that the cost of parts similar to these won't decrease much.
"So overall, producing twenty planes, the average cost per plane would be at least six billion."
"Six billion!"
"Twenty planes would be one hundred and twenty billion, and adding other auxiliary equipment, the expenditure would be even higher!"
"..."
Thinking about the cost gave Liu Jiankun a headache.
The currently identified future main fighter, the J-10 fighter jet, is also a medium-sized fighter, and the average cost of a bare plane is less than two billion.
One Warhawk-1 is equivalent to four J-10s.
