This is only fuel/ammunition cost. The value for fuel used is $3.52/Gal of Military Grade JP-8 Jet Fuel (Official Department of Defense Budget Value for 2024)

Personnel, maintenance, etc. is not included in the calculated cost.

Cost is in USD

Ammunition and rocket cost was calculated by taking the average of most recent Department of Defense contracts using publicly available data. I try my best to be as accurate as possible but these numbers do vary.

Business inquires:

Please make more vids like this. This was quite interesting to see.

[KamikazeKiid]

It’s ironic that I blew up more money in the army than I made..

That's not so bad, I can afford tha... Nevermind

[alexmcalexface]

Moral of the video, army should use more helicopters as they’re apparently free to fly/hover

[dvhqrhg]

Note that this is only fuel and ammunition.
The actual operating costs are way, way higher.

That B-52 in the end for example. It's some $12k of fuel per flight hour, but the total operating costs with everything included are probably closer to $50k per hour, and that's without anything dropped or launched.

[skoff-the-artist]

Me: oh a tank isn't that bad
Me 1 sec later: oh

[velvetthundr]

This is awesome!! I’ve always wondered

[titidodu]

Very interesting, make more of them it’s a very good concept

[princelong]

That tank just spit 1k out like that lmao

[MongoLionsLakais]

Those jets wings alone could take up to $55K just to fill the tanks up. 😂 but them external tanks alone are like 600 gallons so imagine the cost of it fully fueled.

[randomargument]

Imagione on a fighter jet, instead of fuel gauge, you see taxpayer money gauge 😂😂😂

[jordanhutchinson]

What’s bad is this is probably practice and not even actual combat.

[I_Miss_The_Army]

This is actually really cool. Do a M109A6 fire mission.

[SMB]

With the current taxes we are working 25 years only for the government. And they are going to waste it in seconds

[uniquesensitivesnowflake]

An expensive tank that would be taken out but a drone

[christianjoelgarroquino]

Making "peace" in other countries is not cheap.

[Vanky]

I only realize that peace marking is far cheaper.

[kissbela]

Still cheaper than my wife in the shopping centre. On this distance you can multiple this amount.

[dracothedragon]

Imagine how much nukes cost 💀💀💀
