ReplyDeleteHello Kovy,
ReplyDeletethanks for your blog
It would be nice to add a new tab near "Rafale Weapon load" about a clear rafale detail cost
People think the rafale cost 150ME,
They make mistake between all include global price (simulator,training,etc..) and the rafale unit price of 80ME. cost hour/fight, maintenance cost etc...
Comparison price & cost with EF2000/F35/...
With explaination bid by country like (UAE 60 rafale = 10 B$ and India 126 rafale 10 B$)
I can be a good idea, because many abuse on it

It's very difficult to estimate aircrafts prices, expecially for export as they are usualy part of a large package of weapons, training, facilities, spare parts and ToT.
ReplyDeleteBesides, there are various ways to calculate the cost of a jet and it depends a lot on the country of origin. (as instance, sometimes, VAT is included, sometimes not)
TMor made a nice analyss of the Rafale program costs on the Rafale International forum :
