Who’s exaggerating?

The person who said And you can buy 50 F16s for every F35 and so on.

You can buy 1.1 F-16s for every F-35.

The price of the F-16 has changed over the years, with early variants selling for around $13 million and more recent variants starting at $25 to $30 million but potentially reaching $60 to $70 million with improvements.

The unit cost of an f35 will average about $75 million a copy, but that is without the Pratt & Whitney F135 engine. With the engine, the last three-lot deal achieved a unit cost below $80 million per jet.
