i'm wondering what the PAF costs are. one cannot make a straight conversion based on FX rate but a realistic estimate would be 50% of the USAF cost. that is $ 10-12,000 per hour or is that still too high?
The problem is, that most countries include different things into the operational, but that costs is indeed pretty high for an F16, that normally is rated around $7500, Gripen around $5000, the F18SH around $10000, Rafale around $13000 according to figures from the Brazilian FX2 competition.
