The French would provide us with Rafales for the price they have quoted in their MMRCA proposal. THAT is the bench mark. Not to the price they provide to their govt.
If that were the case, I would agree with you. But the deal for 36 Rafales have no relation with MMRCA competition. Its a pure G2G agreement and the prices have been re-negotiated. Even the version we're getting now is totally different from what was initially offered in the MMRCA competition.
India already has Hanger, fuel dump, etc on existing bases where a large number of aircrafts are scheduled to be retired. Rafale is going to take up space on that base. Sure the base will be upgraded by new support equipments, but the infrastructure will pretty much remain the same. Any addition will be by IAF, like building hangers etc. Not by dassault.
That is true, but i'm still not convinced on the $100 Million figure.
