The price Lockheed was trying to hit us for the F-35A was about 110 million a copy.

Trump negotiated a price of $80 million a shipset once full rate production was finally established, which was not that far from the price of a new F-16.

If the new 6th gen fighter is a single engine it should come in around 95 million.

Why?

Because we have already made all of the hard and expensive R&D investments in the key technology building blocks in the F-35 program. .

Much like Kipling, some short stories are too good to be forgotten.
