Meh. Complaining about the cost of shooting this down is pretty silly. F22s are already flown on a daily basis. And munitions are spent regularly in training excersises. It would cost far more millions to set up a training excersise even half as valuable. But that is just the cost of maintaining a capable fighter fleet.
There's probably been sports event flyovers that have technically cost many times this.
- sabujp 4y agoahh yea i forget that the amount we budget every year for training is basically the cost of a war
- WalterBright 4y agoTrain hard means fight easy. The US has always had excellent pilot training, and it paid off handsomely in war after war.

- adeelk93 4y agoFor the pilots, it was - the US achieved air superiority quite quickly. Whatever point you’re trying to make, you lost it along the way. The outcome of of the afghan war was not ideal, but that was not caused by a lack of pilot training, that is an absolutely absurd thing to argue.
