Ive seen a lot of talk about aircraft costs, but how about a discussion on radar sets, missiles, and other components of the aircraft.

There's a discussion about Israeli radars and missiles and I would like to know how its costs compare to its American or European counterparts.

Good luck, even the US does not break out individual avionics pricing.

ASSRAM 290k
AMRAAM (C) 300k-400K

AIM 9X 603K (this doesn't seem right, it costs more than AMRAAM?)
