Beep,

Actually the AC-130 is a very expensive acft. The numbers a few years back were something along the lines of 16 billion/year.

Look into the actual cost, to include a contracting issue and I believe they are more expensive per acft than a B 2 if we don’t include R&D costs.

Fast movers are cheaper but carry larger bangs and have less persistence in munitions. Smaller explosive/ecrs and more precise weaponeering equels easier ROE and increased air to ground munitions.

Nota,

What airstrike on a wedding?
