i think your prices may be a little off. the reason the US army could not purchas the ADATS was due to the fact that the price could not be reduced to under $5 million USD per fire unit. in todays world the FM data radio needed to link ADA systems for taddle A and taddle B ranges is over $35,000.00 USD ea. and the command vehicle needs 2 of that type of radio. there is NO way you could field a modern tracked combat vehicle system for under $500,000.00 ea and that would be just for a empty tin can with maybe a M-240 (FN-MAG) MG for defence. its just the way the world is today.
its all about jobs, kickbacks, contractors, upgrades, retireing generals, and future sales.
