Yeah, I’ll hate on it. Only because you can buy 20 Blackhawk helicopters for every V22. And you can buy 50 F16s for every F35 and so on. The F16 only ever needed weapons upgrades, I don’t mind spending money on the military, I just wish we got more bang for the buck.

I know you're exaggerating, but a new build F-16C Block 70 costs $63 million, and the latest tranche of F-35As cost $70 million.

The Blackhawk doesn't have the capacity, range, or speed of the Osprey, so it isn't a substitute, regardless of cost.
