Not sure why they felt the need to publish the plane's cost in the headline. $4.5 million is pocket change in the world of aircraft values. Oh, Newsweek, decades ago, you were the best, and now look at you.

Seeing Russia's state of the art IFVs and MBTs, one can expect that eventually we will see biplanes at the front.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if an AN-2 showed up just behind the lines somewhere.
