I still have questions, like how tf is the per plane maintenance for an f-35 equal to an f-15

[โ€“] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I imagine the amount of manpower/time going into maintenance is probably similar, but yeah the munitions for the F-35 seem to be much more expensive. Up to 4x more expensive for F-35's AIM-9X Sidewinder ($450,000+) vs. F-15's AIM-7 Sparrow ($125,000).
