Depends on how capable it is. Maybe it is more appropriate for use against lower-end targets rather than high-end threats. We really don't know which environments it would be capable of operating in.

I realized 3D printing is a huge business in America. They used it on alot of military stuff included hypersonic missiles (I've read that from an article.) And plus it is done with automation.

As far as the low pricing goes, I mean it is possible. who knows.

Yeah, if it's just a slow piston engine powered suicide UAV then sure, it's possible and probably could be produced with much less than that.

The world’s most experienced Navy is now battle-proven. The powerful and indestructible U.S. Navy has deployed more missiles for air defense since combat operations against Yemen’s Houthis in the Red Sea began in October 2023 than it has deployed in any year since Operation Desert Storm in the 1990s.

In 15 months, the Navy fired more air defense missiles than it did in the last 30 years​

During combat operations in the Red Sea, the Navy fired so many air defense missiles that it drained the service’s stockpile of munitions. So, it turned to 5-inch gun rounds to down drones.

To be fair, this is more combat than the PLAN has faced.

Regardless though, battle experience is a little overrated. Nothing in Yemen or otherwise will ever prepare either the USN or PLAN for a peer-to-peer conflict.

So they need to build more missile next year than in the last 30years combined to replenish stocks... no way we will see that happening. Stockpiles will be low for years to come.

The X-37B spaceplane will demonstrate the ability to change orbit inclinations by dipping into the atmosphere in a series of aerobraking maneuvers.

The X-37B wrapped up its final mission, incl a highly elliptical orbit that extends above the GEO belt and an orbit changing aerobreaking maneuver. Space Force won't be buying more flights. I had a hunch they were planning to retire this thing given how public they were with it.
