16 February 2023 - cheap balloons

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Let's see, cost per shootdown... I get around 340,000 cheap balloons to bankrupt the Air Force. Time to build a factory!

clue:

Far fewer than 340,000 would do it. Allowing occasional misses, that many missiles would exhaust the entire budget, if it were spent on nothing else.

take oh take this clue away
