I know this for a fact: for the price the US was willing to sell and
sustain, you could buy and fly two Eurofighters for one F-22.

Which is pretty much exactly what I was claiming.

...as opposed to the insane "six to one" cost ratio claimed by someone
earlier in the thread.

A GAO report put the price of a single F-22 at $200m with no parts, weapons
or servicing, if production is capped at the current rate, for a total of 70
aircraft. Which, if they do want the F-35, it might well be.

Nope. The $200 million is the "limited buy, full program" number.

Parts and service included.
