Though development of the  plane is on track  and two test versions have been delivered to the  Navy, budget cuts may  keep the planes grounded for at least a year  longer than planned.<img src="http://www.worldinterestingfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/E-2D-Advanced-Hawkeye-300x214.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />E-2D Advanced Hawkeye5.  VH-71 Kestrel: $241 millionVH-71 Kestrel helicopter is  a publication of the AgustaWestland AW101  (formerly EH101), is now  being awakened to replace Marine One, the  helicopter carrying U.S.  President.<img src="http://www.worldinterestingfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/VH-71-Kestrel-300x155.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />VH-71 Kestrel4.  P-8A Poseidon: $290 millionBoeing’s spruced-up  military version of its 737 jet will be used by the  Navy to conduct  anti-submarine warfare and gather intelligence.

(A  2008 crash leaves the current number  at 20.) The B-2 is hard to detect  via infrared, acoustic,  electromagnetic, visual or radar signals. This  stealth capability makes  it able to attack enemy targets with less fear  of retaliation. In use  since 1993, the B-2 has been deployed to both  Iraq and Afghanistan.<img src="http://www.worldinterestingfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/B2-Spirit-most-expensive-plane.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />B2 Spirit</blockquote>
