Aircraft are like a queen bees it takes a hive to support them. Maybe we can get some of our industry professionals to give a quick over view what it takes from top to bottom to run an airline or general aircraft operation. Company and airport personnel.That's cheaper than I though, assuming it doesn't factor in the facility and necessary military crew onboard the mission?

I do think in the future they may collab more due to common threat (NATO), and as all military collab they are all negotiable in the final price, and nothing is permanent.I heard that Russia wouldn't sell those Saturn engines without a complete aircraft around it. So they're paying for an entire plane that isn't going to be used just to get the engines.

The footnote says "operating cost" so it should be fuel, maintenance work, etc.That can't be all fuel costs. They gotta be figuring something else in.
I'd be interested in knowing what the fuel cost by itself is.The footnote says "operating cost" so it should be fuel, maintenance work, etc.
