Gucci, AESA radars should not cost more than $2.5-3 million/piece (for a size compatible with the JF-17) and you get advantage in maintenance too. The real cost will be the weapons.
Still, if we can get some ToT with partial in-house manufacturing (as we do for Grifo), costs should be within our reach. If you need something good, you will have to spend some money. We did our saving in the airframe and going the chinese way, so we have the cushion to spend a bit in this department.
