Japan’s F-35 Lightning II – Cost: $220 Million
Japan’s F-35 Lightning II is a stealth fighter jet developed by the United States and several international partners, including Japan, who have invested heavily in the F-35 program, ordering a total of 147 F-35s, including 42 F-35A conventional takeoff and landing variants and 105 F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variants.
The F-35 is one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world, with advanced avionics, stealth technology, and a range of powerful weapons systems. Despite its high cost, Japan sees the F-35 as a critical component of its national defense strategy, even more so because it can operate from the deck of their Izumo-class helicopter carriers.
