The Pentagon still plans to buy 2,443 of the new radar-evading, supersonic warplanes, plus 14 development aircraft, in the coming decades
1.45T / 2443 = 593.5M each
300B / 300 = 1B each

A bulk buy discount spread over 5 decades....sounds good!


We can bandy about fictitious numbers all day, it is the way of politicians and industry to use their best rose-colored glasses - in the end, we'll have fewer jets and they'll cost more with less capability...sadly, we all know that yet continue on the same path.
