With a $500 billion and more in defense budget, there is no wonder the U.S. has the most expensive piece of junk. These are taxpayers monies that could feed tens of thousands if not hundreds of them. You spend $1billion on a piece of metal, meanwhile, students are in debt of $35,000 on their loan. $1billion can build two regional hospital and fund healthcare for millions of consumers... The U.S. is synonymous with WASTE. 5 Likes |

Danhumprey: If only all those money that were looted and are still being looted by our corrupt politicians,had been directed to the purchase of military equipment like this,it would have help in crushing the Boko Haram insurgents long before they had the gut to kidnap those girls. And the cost of ten of the F22 raptors,plus one B2 stealth bomber will wipe out our defence budget in minutes....we will have no cash for looting, or even salaries. 1 Like |

bushdoc9919:That's even better than having to constantly,daily contend with a faceless monster/terrorist organisation. To me,that's a small sacrifice to make to protect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of this nation! |

All will become scrap metal once they come in contact with Buk missile, let alone S-400 missile. By the way, most of those price tag are inflated, and the planes are yet to meet any significant challenge. |

If your country is powerful , regardless of how you got your power some nations will be out to get you , besides those aircrafts and the costs are deterrents to would be enemies , those crafts are not used to provoke , rather they are used to keep the peace , Abacha's money would have bought at least 2 hawks and would have created not less then 50k jobs for Nigerians $20Bil NNPC missing funds would buy at least 5 B2 stealth bombers creating jobs making Nigeria indeed a giant in Africa MG rover group was sold to Nanjing Automobile group for less than £100M still pocket change in Nigeria's treasury , buying that would have created tens of thousands of people . Not to digress , my personal favorite is B2 stealth bomber. I like technology but hate the way our leaders embezzle with impunity funds that would improve the life of Nigerians 1 Like |

bushdoc9919: Please explain to us its level of engagement. I know it took part in both wars, but to what extent. The plane was design to be stealthy, but you hardly see them participate in active role like F-15. Instead, they drop bomb from a high altitude and go away. By the way, I based my claim on the fact that they haven't come in contact with any known advanced missile system like the Buk, S-300,S-400. Until then, I rest my case. |

Ahuitzotl: Where is the wisdom buildin such expensive hardware when they can be shoot down by SAM sites which cost less than 1/10 to set up....Except they come with Standard ECM... Com'on. You don't think they woulda factored all manners of enemy weaponry into their designs. I doubt those aircrafts have standard ecms... talk about Advanced Electronic Counter Measures. However, each of them is built for a different role. The B2 Spirit was designed to be a bomber only. It doesn’t need to hug terrain to deliver its package. 2 Likes |

ZACHIE: Jona wanted to spend $1b to fight Boko.I don't think you need a B2 to fight Boko. Believe me the $1B, if well spent, will be sufficient to blow Shekau's âss (and his comrades, sponsors, loyalists, sympathizers) off the face of planet earth. 2 Likes |

Re: Top 10 Most Expensive Military Planes by Ahuitzotl: 2:48pm On Jul 30, 2014 |
Lantean:So as most SAMs can reach altitudes of up to 10km and range of 20km, there isnt any need to sight the enemy before launching.Either way,aircrafts these days are very vulnerable to guided surface fire, especially high altitude long range projectiles.I foresee the next air war to be on a juncture as to who deploys the most advanced SAM batteries....Not the most expensive Aircrafts. 1 Like |

seankafor: whats on my mind now is when d hell will naija reach this level? although if she reaches this level by then more and more advanced ones will come out ..by then we will be lagging behind thoo.. What should b on ur mind is do we need any of these to become a developed economy? All the planes featured here are all owned by the U.S...Countries like switzerland n belgium,infact top ten most developed nation don't have any of these..what we should aim for is how we can develop all facet of the nigerian economy instead gathering war gears...then keep america or russia as an alley incase of war..at least they r good in dat aspect.. 3 Likes |
