Sounds like there was a massive under estimation of the Super Hornet costs

https://www.orangeville.com/news-sto...-morneau-told/

With those figures ballooning now to 5-7 billion for 18 planes according to a CBC report it places the Super hornet costs at over 300 million per plane with a life span of 12 years according to the DND.

Even at a cost of 88 million per hypothetically for the Super hornet vs $140 million for the F-35, the Superhornet shouldn't even be in the conversation just based around capability.
