Original Note:
Data shows that the F-35 is actually the safest fighter jet in recent years: it crashes less and results in fewer fatalities than the fourth-generation counterparts: https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/are-new-fighter-jets-more-likely-to-crash-data The 1.7T price tag is calculated over 50 year lifetime, making it roughly 2% of DoD yearly budget: https://www.pogo.org/analysis/2020/10/selective-arithmetic-to-hide-the-f-35s-true-costs https://www.usaspending.gov/agency/department-of-defense?fy=2022
