If a single round costs about $1,000,000 each, what is the probability that we would be able to inflict $1,000,000 of damage with that one round?

The Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP) has a 11kg bursting charge and an estimated CEP of 50 meters with a range of 154km

That is not a lot of boomage considering that you lose about 50% of your blast force in rupturing the hard case.

For comparison, a TLAM (Tomahawk) costs about the same per round as the LRLAP but with the TLAM you get 450kg of boomage with 80m CEP and a range of 1300-2500km depending on the model.
