Not much more than is spent in training missions, I’d guess, and this training is much more valuable. That said, I’m just a programmer and have no idea.

- 4gotunameagain 1y agoCan you point to a training mission where multiple aircraft & refueling flying tankers cross half the globe to drop multiple huge, presumably very expensive bombs ? I doubt they are conducted that often at this scale.

Getting the equipment and related crews across the globe to the target in a highly secure way is non-trivial. Just based on public info the preparations for potential retaliation were significant across many different US properties in the region and abroad.
