But Mike Sullivan, director of acquisition management at the US General Accountability Office, said he doesn't know where that estimate comes from.110 Million for a stealthy, high performance cutting edge airplane? High. Above projected costs. But still a bargain. And that's if Carter isn't able to drive the price point lower.
"That's not a number that I am familiar with at all," he said in an interview Tuesday with CBC's Power & Politics with Evan Solomon, cautioning he hasn't seen the methodology behind the numbers.
Sullivan said the estimated cost of the F-35A model that Canada is buying is "in the low 100 millions."
"Probably somewhere between $110-115 million," he said.
The critics keep losing.
