Since its inception, the automobile industry has produced some outstanding engineering and design products. We’ve seen cars go over 300 mph and cost millions of dollars. When compared to military vehicles, however, these figures are insignificant. The military is responsible for most automotive, vessel, and aircraft technologies that we take for granted today. Both in terms of performance and engineering, these vehicles are always on the cutting edge. They must be because they have the potential to alter the outcome of a conflict. We decided to honor these engineering marvels by compiling a list of the most expensive and technologically advanced military vehicles ever constructed.
Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit – $2.4 Billion
The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is the most futuristic-looking vehicle on this list and the most advanced. This is the world’s first aircraft that can’t be detected by radar systems, making it virtually undetectable. The B-2 Spirit, for example, can transport 50,000 pounds (23,000 kg) of weapons, including 16 nuclear warheads. Another significant tactical advantage of the Stealth Bomber is its ability to fly for 6,000 nautical miles before requiring refueling. The plane’s price tag begins at $2.4 billion, which is staggering, to say the least.
