I have no problem with this one. F-35As are too expensive. The bill is really eye-watering, and you know the defence contractors will not make things cheaper, but they will add and add and add ad infinitum. A quick search yields GAO and I quote: "estimated life-of-program costs exceeding $1.7 trillion"
It's really expensive to fly even in peacetime.
Agreed their costs are out of control. I dont see why the can't build more cost effective drones. Morr cost effective everything for that matter. In reality these planes and boats could more than likely be built for %60 of what they say they cost. Kinda like $500 hammers and $2000 dollar toilets. Gotta love government spending.
