Oh, come on, JSFfan. Your answer to my post you was

No one was talking about Grippen or Hornet. Those numbers are irrelevant to this. Trying to discredit what you see as opposition doesn't change the facts or the unknowns about JSF. And it's not a problem to have unknowns at this stage. What is a problem is irrational assertions about how great it is and will be before we know. Your personal costing (based on whatever you wish it to be) is actually as valid as anyone's else at this stage- i.e. a (hopefully) close estimate, based on the best information available (I can assure you that none of us here have even half the available information). As you suggest, we may know more in 2020. It's simply too early now.
I suggest you drop the vehement arguments about costs for now. You simply do not know, and why should you?
