Two of them. And I'm afraid what you are proposing is quite a bit more advanced, both technically and in performance and in manufacturing requirements, than two B-1B supersonic bombers.

Doesn't the Kazansky drive have a tendency to explode?

You know, 30mm rounds coming at you with 9km/s+ are somewhat dangerous...

*Still thinks it should read 10- 20bn US$, though*
