Most Expensive Military Equipment Ever

The development of military weaponry usually necessitates a significant amount of knowledge and experience. While the construction of a primitive spear may appear easy and basic to us, it nevertheless necessitated the acquisition of a suitable stick to serve as the shaft as well as a method of tying or gluing the spearhead to it. Never mind the intricacies of chipping a piece of stone till it has a sharp edge without destroying it in the process.

As a result, it should come as no surprise that military weapons are quite costly, especially when the best of the best are involved. The most advanced military weaponry can already cost millions, if not billions of dollars, which is why they are only available to a tiny number of military groups.

Here is the content list:

1. Most expensive military aircraft: F-35 Lightning II

2. Most experience military destroyer: Arleigh Burke DDG 51 Destroyer

3. Most expensive military missile: Trident II Missile

1. Most expensive military aircraft: F-35 Lightning II

The F-35 is known for its ever-increasing cost, which is predicted to reach $1.5 trillion over the course of its anticipated five-and-a-half-decade useful life. This is partly due to the fact that it has been developing for more than a decade and a half, building up development costs year after year. It should be noted, however, that the F-35 is expected to be capable of a variety of missions, with examples ranging from the F-35A, which will use standard takeoff and landing, to the F-35B, which will use short takeoff and vertical landing, and the F-35C, which will use takeoff and landing suitable for use on an aircraft carrier. It's unclear whether the F-35's stealth, superior sensors, and supersonic speed will allow it to live up to its reputation as the best fighter, but a single plane will cost at least $100 million.

2. Most experience military destroyer: Arleigh Burke DDG 51 Destroyer

A single Arleigh Burke costs $1.843 billion, with the total cost of all Arleigh Burke being around $101.8 billion. It's a small but quick and nimble vessel, like other destroyers, designed to protect larger ships from short-ranged assault, but it's notable for its extensive employment of guided missiles. Anti-aircraft and anti-surface missiles, as well as strategic Tomahawk missiles, are among the weaponry in question. Of course, the Arleigh Burke is also equipped with torpedoes, 5-inch cannons, and mine detectors, allowing it to perform a wider range of missions.

3. Most expensive military missile: Trident II Missile

Both the US Navy and the Royal Navy employ the Trident II missile. In a nutshell, it's an SLBM, which means it's a ballistic missile that's launched at its intended target from a submarine and can travel at speeds of up to 13,000 miles per hour. Because it is armed with nuclear warheads, it has never been used and, provided all goes well, it will never be deployed. A conventional variant was considered at one point, but it was never implemented because most sensors have trouble discriminating between a nuclear and a conventional ballistic missile. So far, the two fleets have spent a total of $53.2 billion on the missile system.
