Not sure where you got your F-22 costs. the 183 F-22's being delivered and built are around 110 million per jet.

Those figures came from the U.S. General Accounting Office, and more accurately state the real per-plane cost of the Raptor program than the stated unit price (which is actually about $120 million). It's obvious with the approval of the F-35 Lightning II design that the F-22 will never be built in large enough numbers to achieve any sort of economy. We've built a grossly expensive air superiority craft with no real mission, and no enemy in its class.
