Its not wrong.
But the number is an accounting figure, unless its defined how the figures are calculated its difficult to know the relevance.
How is it the USAF budget figures (
http://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/shared/me...130408-079.pdf), equally 'impeccable', report figures in the region of $175million or LIRP orders quote $95million.
Which is the 'correct figure'?
Which is why I prefer to stick to the actual purchase price given by, in this case, S Korea.
Its the price you would pay if you bought 60 aircraft at a certain date and its directly comparable to the price for an identical number of EF's and F-15's.
Its still damned expensive at 40% more than the F-15/EF. (130 v. 180)
