Let me tell you something. Nobody will sell you an plane with Manufacturing costs alone. Secondly someone posted here with a Chinese source of J10A with a price tag of 42M$ in 2010. That's like 7.6 years back. Even the cost of J10A will be more than 50m now and considering that its not produced anymore, J10B will cost 60m odd manufacturing costs alone. That should costs something like 800 bucks.. And providing of ground maintainance, installation, weapons, spare, training facilities, services.. Even if China doesnt want to make profits, that J10 deal alone should cost 1.5 B bucks. A squadron with all facilities even at 1.5B is still pretty Cheap which only Chinese can do it now. No country can offer you a squadron for such money.
Our future orders of Rafale will be cheap cos the first agreement deals with creation of infrastructure(in 2 airbases), training, maintainance of engines with some spares too. So inducting a new platform for cheap is pure fantasy.
You have no idea what the manufacturing costs of the J-10b is. There is no real source how much any J-10 model costs.
Chinese weapons cost roughly 2/3rd of what the equivalent Western arms cost and so we can say around 50% with no profit for China. There was an estimate of 45 million dollars for J-10b earlier in this thread and that makes sense.
Yes, BD will pay extra for weapons and training but that can be arranged later.
China does not care for profit from BD as it supplies weapons on soft loans.
Why are Indians so upset at what looks like a great deal for BD from China?
