Even if per unit cost is more than 80 mil USD F16In should be bought as wasting time and energy on Rafales /Tejas will get you nothing , F16In are way to go.
According to latest sources US has offered a ridiculous price for F16IN which Indians will find hard to refuse.
Move Rafale and tejas money to this project and be at peace.
It would be wise to shut down this project setting sentiments aside and invest money in F16IN or F18 Super hornet.
Get 200 plus F16IN and all problems of IAF will be solved.
LCA , Mig 21 is still far better than your paper plane , it would be wise to shut down this project setting sentiments aside and invest money in F16IN or F18 Super hornet
If Su30 mki availability is not improved ordering more of these wont solve the purpose , Rafale is true multirole fighter with 90% availability rate and nothing beats this order at least 200 of these to protect your nation.
