Lmao that might be true. They could've upgraded the whole military with next-gen rifles, IR, Playstations, and so on plus some new jets at these prices.

One article pointed out that the F-22 acquisitions were canceled due to cost. Yet, they did seem to be untouchable in the air. Now, we have an enormously expensive plane that can't beat F-16's in short-range and might loose to China's clones in long-range. Prior gen performance approaches F-22 prices. (slow clap for U.S. military)
