12. the F-15 is obviously amortized prices
we're still paying for the cost of research and development on the thing, long after it arrived. The amortized cost of the white elephant F-22 is about $400 million each. The armed forces estimate the 2,465 JSF ordered will cost about $360 billion just for airframe purchases, not including amortization and cost of operation; that's about $146 million per plane. The Rafaele is dirt cheap in comparison.
