kizbad: As the military technology advances, these most expensive military aircraft in the world were created.
For the need of more powerful means of defense, flying military technology is/was developed.
Even creating a highly cost military equipment is not debatable by some people as it’s wasting government’s money, but the show must go on. Here’s the Top 10 most expensive military aircraft ever made in the world.
B-2 Spirit: $2.4 billion
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/b2_spirit.jpg
The B-2 bomber was so costly that Congress cut its initial 1987 purchase order from 132 to 21...
(A 2008 crash leaves the current number at 20.) The B-2 is hard to detect via infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual or radar signals. This stealth capability makes it able to attack enemy targets with less fear of retaliation. In use since 1993, the B-2 has been deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan.
F-22 Raptor: $350 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/f22_raptor.jpg
First conceived during the Cold War as an airframe to vie with Soviet aircraft that was never built, the F-22 is touted by manufacturer Lockheed Martin as the best overall combat plane in the world — not to mention the most expensive. It can shoot down enemy cruise missiles, fly long distances at supersonic speeds and avoid nearly all types of radar detection. But the Senate debate over whether to build seven more — at a taxpayer cost of $1.67 billion — eventually came down to the plane’s job-creating abilities. The axed project would have employed 25,000 Americans.
C17A Globemaster III: $328 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/c17a_globemaster3.jpg
The Air Force military-transport plane is used to move troops into war zones, perform medical evacuations and conduct airdrop missions. There are 190 C17As in service; the aircraft is propelled by four turbofan engines (of the same type used on the twin-engine Boeing 757) and can drop 102 paratroopers at once. In operation since 1993, it has been used to deliver troops and humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and Iraq.
P-8A Poseidon: $290 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/p8a_poseidon.jpg
Boeing’s spruced-up military version of its 737 jet will be used by the Navy to conduct anti-submarine warfare and gather intelligence. It can carry torpedoes, missiles, depth charges and other weapons. The P-8A is expected to go into service in 2013.
VH-71 Kestrel: $241 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/vh71_kestrel.jpg
This high-tech helicopter project, intended to replace the President’s aging chopper fleet, was running more than 50% over budget by the time Barack Obama took office. Soon after his Inauguration, the President announced plans to scrap the helicopters because of cost overruns. On July 22, however, the House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved restoring $485 million to fund the Kestrels.
E-2D Advanced Hawkeye: $232 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/e2d_hawkeye.jpg
A major step forward for surveillance and reconnaissance, the Advanced Hawkeye’s powerful new radar system will increase the range of territory an aircraft can monitor by 300%. “It can probably watch the pistachios pop in Iran,” an analyst for the think tank Lexington Institute told National Defense in July. Though development of the plane is on track and two test versions have been delivered to the Navy, budget cuts may keep the planes grounded for at least a year longer than planned.

ayodejy05: Thank you for this. Na only Abuja them fit try those kinds of shit. We are always at alert in Akure.

Why nah......why......of all places nah akure you come dey mention .......why

ritux: I hope this is in the right section.

Just yesterday 28th July, I was driving towards Gwarinpa, there is this flyover bridge that turns directing you towards Gwarinpa/Kubwa express road if you are coming from Nnadi Azikiwe express way.

As I was driving round the bridge turning towards Kubwa, I saw this car parked by the side of the road with the bonnet open and there was this guy dressed with the complete NYSC uniform stranded. Out of pity, I pulled over and the guy ran to me. Without asking, he told me he just ran out of fuel and that he doesn't have any cash with him.

I decided to help and I asked him how we gonna do it. He said he has a keg in his car. So I told him to get it because I was actually heading towards the new NNPC mega station to get petrol for my car and my generator before getting home. Just as I came down from the bridge, he said there is a place close by he can get to buy from black market since it will be difficult for him to come back. So I stopped and gave him 700 naira. He thanked me and came down. As I was going, I looked through my mirror and I saw him trying to cross to the opposite side of the road.

Fast forward to today 29th July, I was driving through same route and saw same guy dressed with same NYSC uniform on same spot with his bonnet open again. Immediately he saw me, he turned his face. I pulled over and started reversing. He started waving to me to go. The next thing, he jumped into his car and speed off heading towards Kubwa. I chased him but could not get him him because I entered into the fast lane and he was on the service lane. After I passed him, he turned into some street and I could not come.

I think he just stands there extorting money from people. But I know one day, I will catch up with him again.

Abuja residents beware. This are the types that can pretend to be NYSC members by putting on the uniform and rob unsuspecting citizens on the highways.

He might not be a real copper.............so don't just conclude that he's a copper

Preciousgirl: she cant drive sure

You should have stated that instead of allowing us to assumed

Preciousgirl: Assuming you are driving with your male friend at the front seat.
At the back seats are many crates of eggs you went to pick from a poultry farm, so no single space at all in the back.
It is raining cats and dogs, then you spot your wife standing by the roadside awaiting a taxi.
You must pick her at all cost.
You are driving so u re on the driver's seat.
Your friend is on the front seat. where will your wife sit?
Your friend doesnt know how to drive. will you let your wife sit on your friend?
why?

I will allow my wife to take the wheel while I lap my friend or he laps me............

you didn't say my wife can't drive

Yomieluv: Put me on that list,I was adopted by my mummy too.

And what and who have you become

ayukdaboss: Nigerians are representing

it make me happy when i hear good things about my country

Personally I don't see anything wrong in having an individual room in a big house...............

It gives you more time to yourself
and you are not always on each others face/way
which might be of great help to the union

My own opinion though

remsonik: Op ur write up is to bash the women, why not tell men to desist from flings on the night of their bachelor's eve. Not only women should desist,men too should as the dangers u listed are evident in women who do such,men too suffer such dangers!!!

so you want to do everything men do

oyah stand Dey piss
