Currently there are still 3 jets in the running, the F-18 Super Hornet, the Gripen E and the F-35.


More on the Gripen E which is not in service yet

The Gripen E is expected to have a cost of $80 million dollars per plane


Super Hornet

The Block III pricing is ranging between 66 and 75 million per plane


F-35

Costs are expected to drop as production is spooled up, its been estimated that by the time Canada orders it the plane will cost about 80 million per copy, but have a higher per hour cost then the other two 4th Generation Fighters.
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
