IAF has scaled down order of FGFA from 214 to 144. And if each aircraft is to cost $100 million, and $6 billion on research and development total cost a little over $20 billion. How come the figure of $30 billion is achieved.

Not really, I'm just pointing it out.

No, but I'm just pointing it out regardless.

At this point, no one is. War is very unlikely between the two powers in South Asia, heck war is unlikely between India China too.
