“I cannot believe they can’t get the costs below this. Wow.”

$140 million is a bunch but the F-22 is no ordinary Fighter. It cannot be compared to ANY fighter before it. If you “cannot believe” the cost - you should get more informed about it’s capabilities and weapons delivery advancements.

Another key point is the fewer produced - obviously the more each one costs. IMO - we should have more F-22’s than any bird in the fleet. But that’s just my silly opinion.

Oboy the Kenyan doesn’t care about my opinion, now does he?

I understand its capabilities, but I was just hoping with a lot of orders the manufacturing process could be improved to drive the costs down. Maybe it will happen down the road.
