Took me a while, but I think this will give a clearer picture in the difference of price. The price of the jet alone (without Engine) may be the same, but when you start arming it with your choice of Engine, EW, Missiles (in number) etc. - it changes everything. Even choice of Helmets is different.

good god that is not cheap!
Cheaper in the long term. Less costly maintainance than Chinese or RussianYup...but here's the kicker. The F-16 Blk-70/72 and Gripen E/F are the lowest-cost Western options ($130-150 m per plane all-in), the Typhoon and Rafale will take you $250 m-plus per plane easy. We should keep that in mind when we ask, "wHy dOn'T pAf BuI nEw FiGhTeR!?!?"
@Knuckles @Hodor @airomerix
Plus we have trained workforce along Air crew all we need to add the numbers very simple still if we get 36 blk 72 around $$ 3 billion along used airframes and theior upgrade around total 5 billion we could have have around 130 upgrade new and old Viper fleet realy bang of buck for next 35-40yrsCheaper in the long term. Less costly maintainance than Chinese or Russian
How can anyone know by looking at a picture?@Knuckles @Hodor @airomerix
Are all the tanks including CFTs have fuel in them in the above pictures???
I am just asking. If fuel tanks mounted means they will be used.How can anyone know by looking at a picture?
Yes they normally do, and right after landing the tanks are fully fueled up, including CFTs to prevent rust. Rare cases would have it with less fuel. A good example are Vipers for demos, they are normally half full. I'm not sure what PAF does in that case.@Knuckles @Hodor @airomerix

So how long they remain in air during CAP when all the tanks and CFTs are full with fuel???Yes they normally do, and right after landing the tanks are fully fueled up, including CFTs to prevent rust.

Then you have given the answer yourself.I am just asking. If fuel tanks mounted means they will be used.
Not all the aircrafts,just those assigned to ADA.Hi,
In our scenario---I would say that all the aircraft that are ready for battle will be topped off all the time---. I have not seen a pilot roll off his aircraft to the fuel pump to top it off and then take off---
