When counting all program-costs related. But when payed already, you can still have the benefits from that technology jump. Just building surplus B-2s after that does cost much less. See the $600 mil US about that. With the loss of a single B-2 the USA do not loss the related program-costs!
Thinking harder does sometimes help!

As pointed out, the assembly line does have to be restarted.

And by that estimation, the B-2 program only cost around $40 billion, doubtful to me.

Look i cannot be bothered getting into trivial arguments lol. No not everyone who disagrees with me is painted red, just a fact that there are rather alot of die hard commies here.

‘Just a fact’ :rolleyes:

Aye whatever.

As for deliverance, truck wouldn’t do, boat would require pre-positioning and so would any infiltration.

Basically, the only way of using nukes as a detterant is to have them on a fast reaction basis, and that limits your means down to two really, missiles or aircraft.

Then it appears that your logic is pretty similar to those of the terrorists-oops-freedom fighters. Even if Israel as a country and as a military power occupies another nation, and sometimes kills the people which it considers as a threat to its security (and might even kill innocent people in the process), it doesn’t come close of justifing the complete murder of of its civilian population. Does it?

Ehhh, no.

“Might even kill innocent….” Gotta love that half denial in there.

So sending Apaches to launch barrages of rocket attacks at densely populated areas doesn’t equate to the same thing?

Are little children threats to Israeli security?

Also, where is this “complete murder of its civilian population” coming from? You do realise that means murduring every single member of the populace?

wow these kids give some great respones – Barbarian says ‘nonsense’ to my post and thats it lol. oh sorry my grammer isnt perfect but then again i’m not really fussed about that. another response to my post was how bad the grammer was but the guy couldn’t actually come up with any sort of arguments against what i’d said. Kinda like trying to debate with a 12 year old, no wait a 12 year old could come up with decent answers to my post and not some lame comment like ‘nonsense’ cos he dosnt like what i’m saying. Ah i long for the day of a forum only open to adults and not kids. oops sorry i forgot the paragraphs my bad :diablo:

If you could be so kind as to re-write it in something like point form so I can read it quick (and without getting a migraine), I might respone :p 😀

Check it out, hell just froze over 😀

And there was me thinking it was just the heaters broke here in work 😀 😀 😀

I would think the F-22 would be significantly better than the Hornet in all regions of the flight envelope. The F-18 E/F doesn’t have a controllable AoA up to 60+ deg does it? Does it even have an unlimited & carefree flight envelope ?

If I had to make a serious guess, I would say that it was a 1 on 4 or something.

I thought so 😀

Jordanians, Syrians, Iranians, Saudis…

When did we use POWs for publicity?

– As you said earlier on in the thread – prove that Jordan, Syria, Iran and the Saudi leaderships are sending people to Iraq.

– Saddam Hussein was used for Publicity, that you cannot deny. He also was a prisoner of war, irregardless of how much the DoD would like to blur that.

You should be ashamed of yourself. And no, nothing you’ll say about Israel, justified or not, true or lie, can be your excuse for supporting a mass murder.

You’ve some face on you for saying that…

So Ariel Sharon is all sweetness and light? 😡

Its all one way with the Israeli’s, hell they’ll even shoot kids walking to school and try and justify it.
