[QUOTE="klein, post: 842779, member: 23950"] I don't think so, the F35's we just ordered are $18 Billion ! The Canadian government said Friday it plans to spend $9 billion to purchase a new generation of fighter jets, the friend-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. Defence Minister Peter MacKay told a news conference in Ottawa that the jets would be purchased from Lockheed Martin, with the first one expected for delivery by 2016 The contract, one of the biggest military equipment purchases in Canadian history, is worth $9 billion, but the full cost could rise to as much $18 billion once the government signs a maintenance contract. MacKay said the government would make further announcements on additional costs at a later date. That's for a total of 65 fighter jets. You do the math ! I heard the US government ain't even buying them, due to lack of funds. [/QUOTE]
