Wrong. The current unit cost for an F-35B is about $109M while an F/A-18E/F is about $55M. That's a difference of 2×, not 5×. And more importantly, the F/A-18 can't operate from amphibious ships to support Marine Corps ground forces. If it can't accomplish the required mission then the cost is moot. https://breakingdefense.com/2023/10/newest-f-35-f-15ex-contr... It's disappointing to see people post lazy, low-effort comments like this without bothering to do even basic fact checking. |
