      Isn’t this a bit much? 7.4bn for 26 jets is close too 300 million per jet. Are Rafales that expensive?

      $7.4 billion on 26 jets… what does this mean for the balance of power in the region? How will this affect India’s relations with neighboring countries?

      Well, Rafale is just a great multirole jet. It also has nuclear and carrier capabilities. Considering what has been going on with U.S. products regarding killswitch concerns and the U.S. being an unreliable ally, Rafale is too tasty to ignore.

      There was some speculation about the high price in the comments. The article says the jets are for the navy, so presumably there will be some amount of expensive specialization required for operating from carriers etc. On top of that, there is [another article](https://www.defensenews.com/global/asia-pacific/2025/04/28/india-tops-up-its-rafale-warplane-buy-with-26-carrier-capable-jets/) which does not include a definite price, but speculates a price of around $3.4 billion, and also mentions that the price includes tech transfers. Quite likely the deal also includes spare parts and maintenance costs.

      Rafale is simply no match here. India needs nuclear and carrier capabilities. US doesn’t want to sell F-35C to India, F/A-18 are just too old. And Russia has no production capabilities to spare.
