It doesn't take much damage to rack up a high repair bill.
Duh....The event will probably be used as another excuse to attack the F-22, L-M, the Pentagon, USAF and even the F-35.
When I was in an A-10 unit we came close to have a Class A mishap (by dollar value) when a laser designator pod was wrecked.
No damage to the airframe, no injuries, but the pod was toast.
