Maybe the high cost is what helped save the pilots

... both pilots had ejected safely before the plane came down

There are cheaper options that work just as well if saving pilots is your main goal.

Ejection Systems Are Cheap In Comparison.

What Is Expensive Is Anti-Jamming, Radar Jamming (Or Stealth Technology), Munition Guidance, Night Vision, Lasers (For Some Guided Munitions), And Most Of That Is Not Off the Shelf Technology (You Can't Buy It At K-Mart).

You Must Keep Upgrading The Technologies So You Don't Have Other Countries Defeating Your Technology's before You Take Off From The Ground When You Go To War.
