how much do real fighters cost?

[Xilon_x]

my idea was to also include a monetary system for a faction to buy a certain amount of airplanes.

to make stupid pilots understand how expensive it is to crash into a modern fighter.

 

 

 

what will the future fighters be 200 M $?

Every fighters' Mother would say they are priceless.

If you look on Wikipedia, entries mostly have a price tag in real and nominal dollars.

 

F-14:

US$38 million (1998) ($19.2 million in 1977)

 

F-22:

Unit cost US$150 million (flyaway cost for FY2009)

Yeah, those prices seldom include R&D costs and so forth. Also it depends on what year you bought what.

Fixed costs like R&D and setup are spread across all units, so not adjusting for inflation, price per unit actually goes down the more units are produced. Lack of export (except for Iran) for the Tomcat and Raptor kept the production numbers relatively low, which made them more expensive aircraft than many of their counterparts (e.g. F/A-18 ), lower individual production costs notwithstanding.

I’m thinking autonomous drones will be the future.

well you can always buy second hand, to lower the cost.
