The USA is buying 81 USSR combat aircraft for less than $20,000 each. https://www.india.com/video-gallery/why-us-is-buying-81-soviet-era-combat-aircraft-from-russias-ally-russia-ukraine-war-6893412/

This makes me unreasonably upset because 1) I'd need a loan of at least that much to buy the cheapest car, and 2) I can't imagine old Soviet planes being harder or more expensive to maintain than just-as-old American cars. I was somehow able to keep a Ford Tempo as a daily driver for years; I can't imagine a defanged MiG 27 being much harder for a discount Jetsons' future.
