$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.

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.

You can’t drive the costs down on only 183 birds that are over 100 million each. Do you recall that they originally spoke of over 800 F-22’s? THEN you can bring the prod costs down.
You apparently do NOT know its capabililties or you wouldn’t be shaking your head at $140 million each. It is unparalelled on the planet. But don’t ask me how I know, because I won’t tell you.

It will NOT ‘happen down the the road’ (naive). The Oboy is going to squash everything this country has ever stood for - particularly in the areas of advanced technology. This should be clear to you already.....unless you are into stem cell research from aborted babies.........
