sweetman bulled about the price of a f-22 to the f-35
JSFfan, last F22 batch came at $138m total flyaway cost in '09 dollars.
The latest SAR predicts Navy's JSF total flyaway cost in FY18 to be $105m, in '12 dollars.
Add to F22's cost 3 years of inflation and you're at 7x% difference, which is what Sweetman generally said and that's only a flyaway cost.
When it comes to cost you need to pay just to put the aircraft on tarmac (a WS cost) but still not operate it, the difference is probably even worse.
F22 WS cost in '09 was $151m.
By comparison, F35B's WS cost in '17 (got no data for '18, comptroller's site being weird so I can't get Navy's FY14 budget) is $189m and F35C's WS cost is $173m per plane, again in '12 dollars.
So now explain how did Sweetman talk bull, regarding F22/F35 costs and where did he mix URF, NRF, whateveRF?
