Great example of how to lie with numbers. They're including the whole cost of operations for the ~life~ of the aircraft. Including fuel, and probably pilot's salary and the costs for supporting organizations.
Gee whiz... did they include the cost of the carriers for the Navy version? Makes ya wonder.
Money well spent, if that's all it is.
Yeah, but -- has there *ever* been a Govt cost estimate that didn't end up far larger than what was first said?
If the Govt says $1 trillion, count on it being far more when all is said & done.
