kelly evans, back to you. >> thank you, rick. ares are on the slide this morning with lockheed leading. morgan brennan joins us now with more on this developing story. morgan. >> hey, kelly, that's right. so the trump tweets about defense just keep coming including this one from the president-elect. based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns of the lockheed martin f-35 i've asked boeing to price out a comparable f-18 super hornet. but can the f-18 super hornet actually compete with the f-35 joint strike fighter? short answer, no, not really. and for that to potentially change it would take years and billions of dollars, that's according to analysts i've spoken to, but it also isn't that simple. so the f-35 is a fifth generation stealth strike fighter. different variants cost upwards of $100 million, though lockheed says it is working to drive that down to $85 million in the 2019-2020 timeframe. its low radar signature means it can get closer to targets before it's actually in danger. the f-18 super hornet on the other hand a f
