Here Is How Much Those Decoy Flares Cost That Military Aircraft Fire Off All The Time
In combat, they are essential to the survivability of the aircraft that carry them, but they don't come as cheap as one may think.

The B-1B also has a unique flare for its upward-firing dispenser arrangement that exists due to its high-speed, low altitude flight profile. Designated the MJU-23/B, we couldn't find any budget data on this flare within the last couple of years, but in 2013 they cost $623.
