Dassault Rafale in Indian Air Force

[BON PLAN]

I literally don't see sense in Rafale at this price point anymore. It's normal fly away price might be around 130M, and MII way would cost us 170M or more. We literally lack force multipliers in dozens of numbers. I don't think IAF has CAPEX for such shopping in next 10 years.

Except russian jets (and chinese), all the (west) fighters, with MII, are in the same price range.

It could be very interesting to have the REAL price of a Tejas and Tejas mk2. You could have a big surprise.

Based on the 2021 deal, the unit cost of the Tejas Mk1A was $43 million, now factoring in inflation and weakening INR, it would be roughly $50-52 million at most.
Tejas Mk2 should not cost more than $70 million.
