Estimated cost for the 2,443 F-35 being made will eventually cost the US $1 trillion for these fighter planes.http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/03/the-f-35-a-weapon-that-costs-more-than-australia/72454/
Those are the new ones - that map shows all kinds of other aircraft and military WMD so I expect "trillions" altho' an over estimation, I'm sure, is not too outrageous an exaggeration.
And within the next ten years, the United States plans to have 15 times as many modern fighters as China, and 20 times as many as Russia.
That's gonna cost too!
