M10 Booker: How much is a new light tank for the US Army

The American army wants to buy 33 M10 combat vehicles, they are already cheaper than the predatorial party. The US Army plans to buy the first M10 Booker Medicine Machines in the 2025 financial year. About it reports Defense Express. The M10 Booker according to the official classification is a combat machine (Combat Vehicle). The Pentagon published a financial request for 2025, which became known the cost of M10 serial tanks. Next year, the soldiers want to buy 33 M10 Booker fighting vehicles.

The cost of one tank will be $ 13. 95 million, and the total price will be $ 460. 6 million. Now the cost of Booker has declined compared to the first predatorial batch of 33 cars. They cost $ 496. 8 million or $ 15 million per car. It is noted that this is a common situation, because when production becomes serial, it is cheaper. The US Army plans to have 504 Booker combat vehicles by 2035. Therefore, the cost may decrease even more.

The American combat machine is built on the basis of BMP ASCOD with controls from Abrams and 105mm gun. Its value is on par with the western BMP. For example, one Swedish BMP CV90 costs about $ 10 million. Also, the ASCOD platform is the basis for other machines: conceptually the US Army wants to get a car to strengthen the firearms of units. That is why it is a combat vehicle, not a BMP or other type of equipment. We will remind, on June 29 the media showed a new M10 Booker machine.
