The top three unit program costs for rotary- and fixed-wing apps, as detailed in the DoD's latest
Selected Acquisition Reports to Congress, were as follows:
1. F-22 Raptor: $338M
2. C-17 Globemaster III: $331M
3. VH-71 (EH101): $287M
Now I appreciate that the POTUS requires specialist DAS, TEMPEST compliant secure comms and various others bells & whistles, but $287M ? Are they using that $7,600 coffee maker from the C-5 again...?
Makes the Osprey (#8 in the list at $110M apeice, just behind the F-35) look like a bargain.
