A civilian is making a cruise missile in his garage in New Zealand for less

No, he's built, but not flown one prototype thats pretty much an
engine and crude guidance.

I dont have the web site but from memory it has a range
of 500k (?), accurate to about 10m (uses GPS which of course is not secure
in a war zone) and sends live TV feed back to base.

It's range, accuracy, and performance are unknown, the prototype has
never actually flown. The systems have never been integrated. (And
the author of the page is an enthusiastic player of his own music.)
