Although I do read these topics about prices I must add that it is hardly realistic to compare. One person wants to have a Ferrari while the other would can do it all with the small suzuki. Do we really have to compare LCA with F22? Or JF17 with F35? Nopes. We can devide the planes better in three categories like low, medium and high tech. See low as Infrared and pointdefence (max 15 mil), medium as BVR and high tech cockpit (max 25 mil) , and high as Rafale, Ef2000, JSF, F22 etc (topping to 150 mil)...
And prices are different so why comparing F16 block52 for a nation wich already has pilots and infrastructure with one that has to get it all...
And the first post about mach 1.6 comparing to... What has that to do with the price? Should we limit price-speed correlation and say that JF17 is less intresting? Speed is not the most important aspect. Radar, avionics, weapons, range, maintenance costs, startup costs, MTBF, turnaround times... But speed versus costs is not that intresting.
