These Are the Most Expensive Military Vehicles in History

3. Komodo Tactical 4×4 – Indonesia

Product Maker: Pindad Main Users: Armed Forces of Indonesia Price range: $250,000–$300,000* Pindad uses this 4x4 light-armored vehicle, which bears the name Komodo Dragon. It was created when the Indonesian president paid a visit to Pindad's headquarters and asked that they design their own tactical vehicle that would be native, eliminating the need for Indonesia to purchase Humvees.

This Indonesian 4x4 shares design elements with the Renault Sherpa Light Scout. The president of Indonesia may want to steer clear of non-indigenous cars, but the outward design is strikingly similar to a Humvee. Making one Komodo costs between $250,000 and $300,000.

The Super Stallion, an enhanced Sea Stallion variant, is closely related to the S-65. It is essential for heavy-lift missions since it has a more potent engine and can lift greater weight.
