The two(2) H450s are in that unit cost range. The others and the Heron variants range to $40 million. A not insignificant number of Iranian aircraft(such as the US-produced F-5s and C-130s acquired before 1979's Revolution) are low unit costs comparably to the UAVs("drones") lost here.

Attrition compared to US materiel(not material - although that too greatly burdens cost to the US) depletion such as the aforementioned Patriot does not favor the US for sustained operations in theater(let alone should a second theater contingency operation occur).

MQ-9s are ~$30 million USD and are strike capable.

~15/16 MQ-9 Reapers have been shot down inside Iran. Not jets but still combat(strike and reconnaissance) aircraft.

Infor is huge in the ERP space and dates back to bigger iron days(mainframe and midrange - IBM AS/400). They acquired a lot of smaller players over the years which might be way they are somewhat unknown these days unless you date yourself to that era.

Nice! Not sure if you're aware of Got(Game of Trees) that appears to pre-date your Got.

Interesting(unnerving?) to see a number of domain registrars that offer their own DNS services utilize at least some kind of Cloudflare service for at least their own web fronts. Did a check on 6 registrar sites I currently interact with and half were down(Namecheap/Spaceship, Name, Dynadot) and up(Porkbun, Gandi, GoDaddy).
