“332 million dollars to develop?

That wouldnt buy a tire on the f35.”

The F-35 has a $90 million flyaway cost as of this year. It can also carry weapons, while the X-2 can’t.

The F35 cost something like $400billion to develop and still doesn’t work properly.

That’s projected cost. Actual is over $166 million per copy.
