This is a huge one. The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is one of the biggest military transport aircraft in existence. It was in production from 1991 until 2015. Every unit of this model costs a whopping $218 million. To be fair, we have no idea if that is a big or small amount when it comes to military spending.
