Who can afford the V-22, besides the US DoD?
Oil Producer Shieks and Emirs
China
A few Russian Mafia bosses
A few Narco Cartel bosses
The Germans, if they wanted them, but I doubt they do
The Israelis? (Guess who really pays for the IV-22? (Heh, neat acronym there, IV ... sometimes I crack myself up ... ) The US Taxpayer via the usual shell game).
Richard Branson
Bill Gates
Warren Buffet
George Soros
Owner of Mexico Telecom
(and folks of that ^ ilk)
Outside of the above, who can afford a V-22?
Who is really paying?
It's a neat bird, but it ain't cheap.
