No No Really Look at This:[SUB][/SUB]
Brother I don't know about the prices of blk 52+s and MKIs but by your definition 15 million JF should be nothing more than a piece of trash.
No No Really Look at This:
Program cost US$500 million
Unit cost Block 1: US$15–20 million (estimated)
Block 2: US$20–25 million. as of wikipedia.CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But as the Official at Dubai air Show Said.

Aviation analysts expect the aircraft, currenlty priced at $25-30 million, (which is currently in service means Block 1) to be focused on emerging markets in Asia and Africa. Mukhtar said that
“Going to the (European) market is not very easy because you are cutting the profits of some other people.”
Pakistan is producing the first version of the JF-17 Hunders, however research on the next three generations is already in place. Next year the next block of planes will be rolling off the Kamra factory.

Average contractor rates that LM pays to its contractors is around $ 80 - 250 an hour (depends on the specialty) plus there is a lot of money that goes to other small integration companies. Labor cost is very expensive in the defense industry and overall in the US. So if you take an $ 80 an hour contractor and turn it into $ 10 an hour (still good money in Pakistan, India or China's case), you can slash those labor costs in dollar to the local currency. Still paying good money in their own currencies, you can cut the development costs by 40 - 60%. That's why JFT is so cheap as the labor component is in dollars.
In other words, to integrate avionics etc in the US or UK or France, the costs are very high. Same avionics can be integrated in SE Asia for 40% of the cost (as long as there is trained labor available). So JFT @ 15 - 20 million is not just a cheap crappy plane. It offers capability comparable to $ 40 million dollar planes but the cost to built it and test it is much cheaper.

Yes Agreed With Both You.it is a 40 million Plane but due to Cheap labor and our own home made equipment it is cost effective.its like that China Product is cheaper than japan or Us not for bad or Cheap Quality but for Cheaper Labor.Hence proved that price is not the only litmus test. A $15-20 million can be 70 to 80% of a blk 52+.
