Citat:The G.A.O. report said that the program “is behind schedule,” that its costs rose by $7.7 billion in 1976 and that its success or failure “will have a significant influence on the fate of future co‐production programs” in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Air Force sources reported that the estimated total expenditure for the F‐16 program for research and development through 1986 would be $13.8 billion.
13.8 milijardi $ je 54.7 milijardi $ danas. Za poredjenje razvoj F-35 je 107 milijardi do danas.
Citat:
Since the memorandum of understanding was signed in 1975 by the five members of the consortium, the program has faced a number of problems. Some arose from engineering changes. Others resulted from the European members’ requirement for an aircraft that will be more than an air‐to‐air fighter and will be able to carry out an air‐to‐ground support role it combat.
The conclusion drawn by sources in the aircraft industry is that the solution of these problems will result in an increase in the $6,091,000 cost of each plane in 1975 dollars cited in the memorandum of understanding.
Prvobitno planirana cena, danasnjih 27.1 milion $
Dalje o tome koliko ih je( nije ) naruceno, kako ce biti pravljeni u Evropi, itd...preslikano, samo tada nije bilo interneta...

Ma nije moguće.
Da nije na njemu radio onaj Pierre Sprey?
Sprej je budala, i tih par likova oko njega, kao onaj vepar Vinslov. Njemu je i F-16, i to onaj prvi nepotrebno napredan u odnosu na prototip YF-16. Matori je u glavi ostao u 60-im u prvoj polovini Vijetnamskog rata, sa radarima koji nisu look down shoot down, sa avionima bez IFF i losim raketama i nikakvom opremom i misli da je to i dalje tako.
Za njega je pravi lovac samo laki agilni kao F-5 Tiger sa raketama za blisku borbu, bez ikakvog radara i opreme i da imaju takvih 5000 + hiljada kako oni zamisljaju. Samo takve avione bi danas savremena PVO poklala kao dronove na poligonu.
On je samo dobio prostor od propagandnih medija za svoje lupetanje, a F-35 mu je super dosao. Koliko je on izgubljen je to da on pljuje sve zapravo, njemu je F-16 bolji lovac od F-15 koji je prevelik, i samo vrti tu mantru laski i agilniji. Jaci radar, vise raketa, goriva, i sve ostale perfromanse nisu bitne jer to je ionako sranje i ne fukcionise zapravo u stvarnosti ( radari, BVR, senzori...) I to zacini sa tim kako F-16 na vezbi bude bolji u bliskoj borbi, samo zaboravi da pomene da je to kada F-15 pusti F-16 da se malo igraju dogfighta na vezbi.
U stvarnosti, u ratu, F-15 vozi traktor a F-16 otvara kapiju i trci za njim.
Russian-Made Sunflower Radar is Capable of Detecting F-35 Jets
Citat:The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is the most advanced aircraft in the Pentagon's arsenal, but Russia's powerful over-the-horizon Podsolnukh (Sunflower) radar is capable of detecting and tracking the stealth fifth-generation plane or any other fighter jet that was designed to avoid detection, Svobodnaya Pressa reported.
