Cost per kg

I just looked at their 2022 annual report and it indicates they removed 923,000kg for a total expenditure of about €9M. That's VERY a different cost than is indicated in the article. Is it not acceptable to use their audited annual report as a source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:3B3:A600:D0CD:8C0A:CF9D:ACC0 (talk) 23:44, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Design # vs unit # confusion

I can't tell from their reports whether they distinguish design versions from the identifying # of each system. For Systems 01-03 they sometimes refer to the design by the name of its implementation. For the Interceptors it's more clear that there are many models using the same design, but only the Original has a clearly distinguished design-name. If anyone finds a catalog of design versions, please link to it. – SJ + 20:14, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
