The US medium missiles aren't cheap.
ATACM  firing range 300 km
Payload 214 kg
Flight ceiling 50 km
speed Mach 3.

Adolf spent money on rockets and got:
V2 Range 320 km
Payload  725 kg
Flight ceiling 80 km
Speed  Mach 5.7
------------------
It's like the US making cars with less performance than old VW beetle for $1 million.

Correction to V2, it carried 900kg.
The present German Taurus is less effective except for distance:

Payload 480 kg
Operational range > 500 km
Maximum speed Mach .95
-----
That took 80 years of research funds for less result.

The V1 and V2 were inaccurate -
they could be 10 miles away from the target even 30 miles.

Then GPS and inertial nav has reduced the V2 speed and load, after 80 years.  Does it slow down a car when fitted?

You are such a silly Billy.   ;D

So where's the advantage in $1mill missiles that are less capable than 80 years ago, apart from GPS? German Taurus is slower than some Airbus and Boeing passenger liners.

They can hit to within 1 metre of a target.

A drone for $2000 goes 300km, with GPS.

Or else use a WWII rocket from Germany (in 1944!) and add GPS for faster, heavier load.
