Nope. For 336 pieces, the price would be $90 million each. At the
current buy rate, it's $170 million.

You are looking at way old data. All these delays have driven up costs for
the F-22 program markedly.

My numbers are from last year. There have been no real changes in
costs since then. $170 million is the current price, according to
current planned buys.

Where did you get your guesswork from?

Not for seventy pieces and not for the additional delays.
