150k is light money for the us military, an aim 9x sidewinder costs 400k and an amraam costs over 1 mil. And if you want to talk money, the jassm, tomahawk, and lrasm all have their price ranges in the 3 mil range and America has plenty of those so if needed, America can fire hundreds of those missiles at a target to oversaturate the defenses and its 3 mil per missile fired. 150k per missile is nothing

[@wickertwm]

A criticism of the Hellfire is its initial cost of about $100,000.00 per missile. The cost of its replacement is $325,000.00. If they wanted a less expensive variant just keep the Hellfire in production, it is almost 4 time less expensive than the JAGM. This is a joke that the American Government keeps getting ripped off by the Defense establishment. They should just think it through, Quantity is a quality in itself. A soldier would rather have 4 missiles instead of 1 that may be more advanced. The Hellfire has been proven and is quarter the price. The budget would therefore allow 4 times as many Hellfires in storage verse 1 JAGM. Personally I would rather have 4 shots instead of 1 just in case you run into more than 1 tank because they sometime come in a swarm of more than 1.
