The cost of building the AT-AT walker has been calculated
The famous imperial AT-AT walker. can be created today, and the cost of building one combat vehicle will be about $ 226 million. This is reported by the Comicbook edition. The calculation took into account the cost of armor plates, mechanisms that provide movement, electronic filling, as well as two types of laser turrets to increase efficiency - LaWS lasers and ATHENA lasers. Another 200 thousand dollars will cost the annual training and maintenance of the walker crew. Thus, the construction of AT-AT in modern conditions does not seem to be the same daunting task as the creation of other models of military equipment from "Star Wars". Recall that for the first time such walkers were presented to the audience in the movie "Star Wars: Episode 5 - The Empire Strikes Back". They attacked a rebel base on the snowy planet Hoth. The height of the AT-AT building is 22.5 meters. The crew consisted of three people: an officer, a gunner and an artilleryman. The walker can carry up to 50 stormtroopers and four tons of cargo. During the heyday of the Empire, there were about 15 million walkers. Later models could transform into spaceships. Their weak points were their "legs", which could get entangled in a strong cable, so the AT-ATs were always covered by mobile units from below.
