Comments by "WarfarenotWarfair" (@warfarenotwarfair5655) on "Which multirole fighter jet is the best buy? Part 2 of 2." video.
If you look at the procurement data the Super Hornet is $95mil gross cost while the F-35A was $140mil in 2015 and has now fallen to $85mil. The F-35A is the best bang for buck as it is the F-16s successor as NATOs newest and best all around workhorse. The USN and USAF put out detailed budget overviews.

@Fuhrerjehova Well the F-35A is essentially NATO's fighter. The Gripen will keep Sweden's military aerospace sector alive. If they give up their fighter jet their knowledge will be lost and it will be nearly impossible to get it back decades later.

@MrCastodian Easy, low tech, easy to FOD the engine out, less reliable, and major repairs have to take place in Russia.

The F-35A is already a workhorse.

@patlab555 You mean in a WVE dogfight? A skilled pilot can down any other aircraft in a WVR fight. The F-22 will have all of the advantages in a real war, there is no "exercise" where to get to square off in a WVR fight 😂

@patlab555 I was in the USAF from 1999-2009 attending Red Flag in 2002 and 2004. The F-22 was always known as an F-15 killer in exercises. You might be old but you are not wise 🤣

It's not completely different, it shares 25% common parts with the old F-18C.

According to the House of Commons minutes for the F-35 project in the UK, the RAF had stated the Typhoon was $160mil each and a politician asked why shouldn't the government just replace the Typhoon with the F-35A. The RAFs response was that the Typhoon was operational and the F-35A was not operational yet.

@aaront2131 That term was created by white leftists in California like last week. That's like the made up terms "Hispanic" and "Latinx". White leftists love to rename everyone.

USN Budget Overviews have the Super Hornet at gross cost $95mil each while the F-35A has fallen to $85mil each. The F-35B last I checked a few years ago was $140mil each and the Marines were holding out for them.

@usslexingtoncva-1639 The Navy lost some throw weight when they got rid of the S-3 and A-6 but added more when they went all Super Hornet. It was a cost cutting measure but the Navy is finally picking up stealth aircraft.

@quinndenver4075 They are not very good.

@recoil53 As General Patton said in his book, "The Russian doesn't care about human life, is a chronic drunk, and an all around son of a bitch".

You can't buy them anymore since 2008....

@Leadblast It was actually cancelled by Democrats because they hate the military. The USAF looked at a study to restart the F-22 production in 2017 and it would cost over $1bil.

@patlab555 You seem confused and ignorant.

@litmusing No such thing as a "South Asian". Another dumb made up term by leftists.

@aaront2131 It's not common, it's nearly brand new. Another ignorant millennial 🤣
