#2 Where is all this radar equipment manufactored in the first place? Perhaps we could have a talk with the, er, Ukrainians about how we're getting a little tired of bombing the radars -- overtime, flight pay, cost of 1,000 bombs -- so perhaps the Ukes oughta close the spigot. Failing that, we could remind them that the big, bad Russian bear to the north has, throughout history, generally considered Ukraine to be another "federated republic."

#4 Current price for a JDAM kit is $18,000. Don't know what the bomb costs, but it can't be much.
