Unless you have precise data on what is included or not in the contract, I'd suggest you not to make such unrelevant comments..Accept or not this is the truth.
Why, because the price is $5billion for 36 i.e. about $139million per piece, that is also without weapons suit.
Think what will be the cost of 108 rafales with TOT you can easily take the number well above $30BILLIONS.
IS INDIA GOVT. NUTS TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR 4.5 GENERATION STUFF?
Also this cost include their flying cost for next 15-20 years If I am not wrong. @sancho sir may confirm.There is unlikely to be any more govt. to govt. purchase since it does not address Offset.
So IF any more Rafale are to be brought, then joint venture is the only possibility.
But things started looking brighter for LCA and AMCA.
Parrikar said the cost is 70:30 split between Aircraft and missiles. I am going to guess the price of the Aircraft should be about 110-120 million $ per aircraft.

So now MMRCA is scrapped and all further order of Rafale will be Govt to govt deal? @sancho What are the benefits and loses of this type of deal?

Egypt also bought a FREMM-class frigate with the package, you know that, right ?Apart from Commitment for Long term Support from France for these 36, nothing is clear.
Egypt are getting their 24 in 5+Billion, will India get 36 in less then 5Billion??
Let the full picture emerge, this is the price benchmark and most probably will not go down.
Rafale deal an unmitigated disaster – Bharat Karnad of CPR
Q: Is this because the aircraft are of very poor quality?
A: No, Rafale are not poor quality, but India will have to pay an arm and a leg for it at over $200 million per unit cost. While the more advanced Su-30, as Parrikar noted, with full ordnance load comes in at less than half the price.
