perhaps you partly misread what I posted and I shouldn't have been as general.
"Other than the super hornet, that is very close to the F-35 in price when you add the pods etc. I'm having trouble finding cheaper fighters. Which one/s are you thinking of? That's not even allowing for the superiority of the F-35's capability."
did your prices include all the pods/sensors needed for multi role, as I suggested was the specs?
they don't make the grippen C, f-16c or F-15c any more and the $year buy would be 2020. wouldn't it? that is when the F-35 is out of LRIP.
If we are looking back in history, the spitfire was a lot cheaper.
although you started with what the superiority of the F-35's capability may or may not be. I will reply to that when we get the market current or near future fighters (grippenE) costs that you think are cheaper than the F-35
with all sensors at under $90m flyaway 2020 price?
