Post by: Pokesamrus on January 11, 2008, 07:18:42 PM
Cost of a single B-2 Bomber: $2.2 billion dollars
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-2_bomber (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-2_bomber)

What's your thoughts of how much this stuff costs and if it's going to waste. AND WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM ANYWAYS- TAXES?!


im no hippy i'm pro meaningful wars, but also we shouldn't be in war now, we should be improving the US.

They only made 21 of those. And it's the best stealth bomber we have, what do you expect?
They haven't made any more in years, too. Good job being misleading.

46.2 billion dollars on 21 planes? still WAY too much.

Yeah, and I'll repeat what I said- it's cheaper and easier to use B-52's.

Dumbass. B-2's are stealth bombers. Emphasis on STEALTH. B-52's are incredibility to detect, seeing how they're huge and round. Learn about a subject before you try and argue it.

i still don't think we need stealth bombers. im just saying war is gosh darn expensive.

Why ten or less?

The B-2 is one of the most effective bombers we have. It can avoid detection by radar, has a very effective payload, and can go at super-sonic speeds. Most planes have one of those three.

translated into English

"What the hell is that little black spot in the air?"

"I dunno, it's getting bigger though..."

And so it got bigger...

And bigger...

AND BIGGER...

I just thought for a plane so expensive we would only need ten or less in reserve. Just an estimate

It's fighter jets that are replaced like every 20 years.

Either you have a ton of free time on your hands to look up pries of war amentites, or you've died in Call of Duty 4 a ton.

Anyway, yes, it's shameful really.

A Javelin missle costs $90,000 - A naval carrier like the USS Arizona casts in excess of $70 billion, depending on the size and contents, but it runs on nuclear energy and only has to be refueled every 20 years.
