Those 700 cost more than 7 times the entire Apollo program, adjusted for inflation. They cost 7 times what it cost to go to the fucking moon, start to finish.
Their primary purpose is not to be good fighter jets, but to funnel tax payer money to the board members of Lockheed Martin.
They are living symbols of American corruption coming at the cost of capabilities. Another poster has detailed why they are poor weapons, so I won’t bother, but that 700 number you were happy to post about is not a symbol of strength, but a symbol of waste, corruption, and weakness.
