Air Force Major Defense Acquisition Program Cost Growth Is Driven by Three Space Programs and the F-35A

Pilots selected to fly the F-22 and F-35 require advanced pretraining because of their new aircrafts’ capabilities and the lack of two-seat trainer variants. Additionally, flying the F-22 and F-35 for some missions does not make sense. Using F-22s as alert aircraft or for continental U.S. combat air patrols is costly and taxes a very limited resource. Finally, the F-22 and F-35 are often flown in an adversary role to simulate threat aircraft. This use of costly aircraft as “Red Air” wastes resources. Can the new trainer accomplish all three of these missions? Can the Air Force purchase an aircraft capable of training that also possesses a combat capability? This combat-coded trainer may not be feasible, but it is one example of the critical thinking young Air Force field grade officers need to support a rapidly changing Army.

Acquisition of the F-35, the most expensive program ever undertaken by the Pentagon, is expected to cost $400 billion for about 2,500 planes, though lawmakers said they expected that number to ultimately shrink because of "prohibitive" costs.

Fewer planes, higher costs
Over the past decade, the per plane costs of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program have doubled.

I can't see the links
try the google in Bangladesh Fewer planes, higher costs - Google অনুসন্ধান instead of the Hong Kong Google you are using. BTW why are you using the Hong Kong one....

Sequestration?? Whut? That's all over. You are posting old articles from March 2013.

US Defense is still getting less at higher costs and the F35 is still the loss leader

Name be another modern aircraft that can do that. And remember, the performance of the Harrier never was comparable to a top of the line contemporary fighter, yet is was a very usefull asset, with unique capabilities.

Your posts in this thread are really ironic. How about you focus on Bangladeshi military capabilities? Show us what the mighty Bangladesh can do.
