I know exactly how much we paid the USAF for our Reapers under Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and your figures per aircraft are massively wrong. I suspect your $37M quote is for a Reaper system, which includes 4 aircraft, 2 Ground Control Stations, Ground Data Terminals and the infrastructure to connect it all up. Also, the price changes depending on what sensor/weapons fit you order. Don't forget that what one country pays is different to another and so what the RAF paid exactly is very commercially sensitive.
