Bastardeux, I put up the SAR fa-18ef costings link on the last page, the 2012$ is $66.6m and the 2012$ is $73.5m both in URF also from the SAR I put up for the F-35
Looking at the SAR it seems your "182 F18/EA18 came in at 2013$16 billion" or $88m is a combined PUC.. just to help your argument, the fa-18ef PUC is less and $84M a PUC for the f-35a $96m for year 2018... both in 2012 Y$
on a URF the difference is $6m
on a PUC for the difference is $12m
please show me where I am wrong if you disagree or accept that is the SAR price
CM, yes japan is funny, definitely need to see the spread sheet to see what the game is
