How Much Did the F 35 Program Cost?

I think those stories often break because you hear them presented as evidence of corruption and graft, right? These sweetheart deals and smoky back rooms where technically you're supposed to go for the lowest reliable bid. We should do an episode about government contracts. I can't believe we haven't done that. Can we drop how much the F 35 program cost and what it's projected to cost? Oh, yeah. This is like the overall. To develop and deploy F 35s, including training and all that stuff. So it was currently when I last checked in 2022, I'm going to guess a billion around 400 billion dollars. That's an unfathomable number.
