I wonder how much an f18 will cost to operate/ upgrade to remain relavent 30/40 years from now?



Janes said that australia costed the F-18 at $24k per hour and the f-35 at $22k per hour, this is also consistant what the ADF has said.
Upgrades are going to be every 2 years for software and 4 years for hardware.

UK, Canada and Australia also have their own software recoding partnership
