Cost of Military Technology

What are the most expensive forms of military technology? 

1. P-8A Poseidon - $33 Billion

This plane began as a surveillance plan, and turned into a multi-use facility. Missles, mines, torpedoes, and the latest sensors can be found on this plane.

2. CVN-78 Class Aircraft Carrier - $9.8 Billion

3. Virginia Class Submarine - $83.7 Billion

"The Virginia Class subs are among the most useful strategic tools in the DOD arsenal.  These nuclear submarines can carry 38 different weapons, including Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, mines and torpedoes. While eight are currently in operation, the Department of Defense has 30 of these $2.5 billion mobile undersea missile platforms budgeted." - Blaze.com


All of that being said, our military obviously spends an enormous amount of money on technology. Now, whether or not that money could be better spent in another location is up for debate. The video below may begin a dialogue within your head, and help you figure out exactly where, and how, your tax money is being spent.
