Can somebody correct me. What is the actual cost of the aircraft.

Millions or Billion
It's a trillion dollar joint program.Per unit cost is between $100million to $130million.

You are incorrigibly stupeed.

You started with foolish claim that F22 was not a stealth aircraft, advanced to justifying your foolishness by quoting politicians on F35 as failed programme. I kept educating you and bursting your ignorance, and showed you that 6 countries have received their trainer versions (even stated this much earlier) and you return to mock me of proving to you that F35 is actually active and in full flight. Can you be more stupeed?...how did I even get entangled with a halfwit like you in technical debate?

Sorry, ...drool on.

im not into any technical debate with u..i said the F- 35 isn't yet in "SERVICE",u stated otherwise.U went ahead and posted a blog to prove your ''F-35 being in service''claims,but all the blog did was apportioned the current status of the plane as''OPERATIONAL".how can a bomber be in service when critical operational softwares are yet to be installed?..Wikipedia describes the status of the F-35 as''in testing and training use by 4 countries''....i also posted 2 articles stating clearly that the F-35 wont be able to perform one of its primary functions''firing its armament''until 2019..if u are as half as sound technically as u think u are,u ought to knw when it comes to high tech weaponry,there's a difference between being operational and in-service..the russian SU-37 is currently operation but is'nt bound to enter service..i'av made my point and im sticking to my claim that the F-35 isnt yet in serive..i care less what u think abt my claim,the worst u can do is to keep MASTUBATING about your ''oluwole technical prowess'' on a faceless forum..im done with u..

The first problem with the F-35 program was that the Top Brass wanted it to do everything.

Stealth with lots of armament.
Fly above the radar but still perform ATS attacks.
Perform as a standalone system but still able to draw mission related info from nearby systems.

The complications and expectations were just too much; while most of these roles are contradictory to one another. Just as you don't expect the B-2 to engage in a dogfight with a Su-25, you shouldn't expect the V-22 osprey to perform recon missions.

I believe the F-16 program has been among the most successful in American military aviation. It has been able to adapt to upgrades over the years.

Let them have a defined role and stick to it. As technology improves, they can add more roles as they like; even if they want to put a hyper drive, it's left to them.

All I want to see is that bird take flight , no less !
Oga, when will Nigeria produce her own? we can call it NIG-01, abi? I may sound as a joke but i 'think' with the level of intelligence and population, we can atleast sort to achieve that one. sebi MadeInNaija APC don dey?
