page 17 line 2012 for year 2012 dollars
the SH is $66.6m plus FLIR pod, HMD, night googles and probably another few things I'm unaware of

for 2012 year dollars page 39 and 54 line 2018 then add together
the f-35 for 2018 is $72.5m including FLIR and IRST along with EODAS and HMD

$72.5 - $66.6 = $5.9m ..lets round it off to $6m even without adding the costs of the pods. helmet and googles etc to the SH

going by SAR the ramp up drops the price in 2018 to... f-35 is $6m dearer than the SH and both the JPO and LM say they can get the f-35 price lower

please check my maths
