Same goes for other countries.

So this one specifically, I think we're going to need hundreds of thousands of cruise missiles.

This is not an area where we'll be the only player.

There are other companies building good cruise missiles.

What's a cruise missile cost?

So a Tomahawk, which is our main cruise missile, or a JASM, costs on the order of like $2 to $3 million.

So my goal is to be about an order of magnitude cheaper than that.

By tenth, it sounds like.

Yes, that's the goal.

That said, we won't be the only player on Pike.

The thing is, I think we could all make Pikes.

GM could retool tomorrow to make Pikes, and I don't think we'll have enough.

And so there are specific products where we really try to like change thinking and bring in like a completely new style of war.

And there's stuff like this where it's very clear we're going to need cruise missiles.

We've shot a lot of our cruise missiles.

The actual numbers are classified, but it's a massive number of cruise missiles.

I don't have a clearance.

I generally know the contours of the number.

It's bad.

We need a lot more cruise missiles and we need to replenish that arsenal.
