To strengthen the military supremacy of the ‘superpowers’, modern and advance fighter aircraft were developed and modified from time to time. As the US Senate votes to cut military spending on the
$350 million F-22 fighter, here’s a look at the military aircraft with the biggest price tags
No 10. F/A-18 Hornet: $94 million
First entering service in the 1980s, the twin-engine fighter plane was the U.S.’s first strike fighter — an aircraft capable of attacking both ground and aerial targets. It has seen action in Operation Desert Storm and as the aircraft of the Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron. The F/A-18 is also used by Canada, Australia, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland.
No 9. EA-18G Growler: $102 million
Hot off the presses, the Growler is a lightly armed version of the F/A-18 fighter that has been updated for electronic warfare (it is currently being delivered to the Navy). Growlers are capable of not only finding and disrupting anti-aircraft radar, but also jamming enemy communications.
i lone the photo so mutch
crazy good killing machines
great post,
ill buy that. LOL
Left out the E-3 which was the most expensive aircraft until it was passed by the B-2.
why these people spend a hell lot on these planes, why not move forward for humanity
Nice article and some cool and pricey planes here for sure! I remember hearing somewhere that the B2 Spirit would have been “cheaper to build in solid gold” after all the R&D, development and production costs. At $2.4 billion I can see why! I didn’t realise the Raptor was as much as $350 million though? Thought it was more in the $122 million range? Not that that’s cheap of course!
Wow! great collection, i have never seen, thanks for sharing with us…:)
