Ok, well just a few more paragraphs down is:
> The investigation also revealed that Raytheon Technologies had raised the price of Stinger missiles from $25,000 to more than $400,000 per unit. “Even accounting for inflation and some improvements, that’s a seven-fold increase,” Shay Assad, a former Pentagon acquisitions official, told 60 Minutes.
The US ramped UP how many stinger missiles it bought so how could your explanation lead to an increase in price? Especially one so dramatic?
