France in final talks on UAE Rafale sale
France is in late-stage talks to sell Dassault Aviation-built Rafale fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates, Defence Minister Gerard Longuet said on LCI television on Monday. ”We are in final discussions,” Longuet said.Asked how likely it was the deal would be completed, he said: “It’s extremely probable.”
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has handed the reins to sealing the deal with the UAE to his foreign minister, Alain Juppe, in the hope of concluding a deal by the end of the year.
The UAE has been in talks with Dassault since 2008 over the purchase of 60 Rafale jets, estimated at $10 billion, to replace the fleet of Mirage 2000s they bought in 1983.
The French company has still not found a foreign buyer for the multi-role Rafale, billed as one of the most effective but also one of the most expensive fighter jets in the world.
“It’s a big deal for a country when it equips its air force for 40 years, so the buyer has conditions and the industrial firm is defending its interests. That’s obvious.” Longuet said.
The aircraft-maker had come close to securing a multi-billion-dollar Rafale deal with Brazil, but the Brazilian government has delayed its decision until 2012.

If UAE is paying 10 billion for 60 Rafale jets, then how much will it cost India to get 126 or even 200? Definitely more than $10 billion

Don't forget that this ammount includes not only low numbers of fighters (which makes the unit cost higher), but that they also will be completelly produced in France and that it most likely includes fundings for some of the changes the UAE wanted. So you can't really translate this figure to the MMRCA, but even I wouldn't be surprised if the final deal will be costlier, but as long as the outcome for Indian forces and Indian industry is worth it, I don't have a problem with that.
