Do any of you actually think that would be even close to accurate?

Especially when we factor in the military procurement bureaucracy structure and dynamics?

Also, I have a hard time believing the body would make up most of the cost, when designing legs that can move such a vehicle, and do so with decent performance, durability, and reliability, would be not only absolutely expensive, it would also probably be very time consuming and hard to pull off. Especially when we have never done anything like it before in the military.

Yeah... And all Russia has to do is build a giant robot that can kick this in the gut and it will fall down, flat, game over America, boom, we loose the war. It's a stupid idea dude, created my CIA to distract you from reality, they want you to believe that it's doable.

What's the point?
Such an easy target so high off the ground.

The only way it would survive is with a good force field.

Exactly.

And that infographic is not even taking into account the research/development/prototyping costs, and it never mentions how big the procurement order is, so we have no idea just how much economy of scale such a cost per unit would require even if it was possible.
