Beware, it can't be multi mission, how many times we have to tell them

Anyone want to guess the price tag?
Looking at the F22, B2, F35, say 300 aircraft.. 2013 cost levels

400 mill per aircraft (~A380) x 300= $120 billion + 100 billions development costs + 100 billion for 30 yrs training & sustainment.. $320 billion at 2013 cost prices?

That's not even close to the F35.. Maybe I'm a bit low, double that.

Exclusive: U.S. sees lifetime cost of F-35 fighter at $1.45 trillion | Reuters

Anyway better start scaring the hell out of US taxpayers! The evil Chinese Arabs? Where's the flags & Hollywood when you need them..
