47 tomahawk missiles @ 569K a pop = $26,743,000

So each militant cost about $382,042.85



ETA: Not saying that is cost effective or ineffective. Just math.

ETA2: NM, that's the cost for a tomahawk land attack missile. My apologies.

You're a little low, I think. I think they're closed to $1.5M per.
