Toooooooo costly. Are we mad to buy such costly plane.its not even 5th gen. I m sure f35 would cost less than rafale. I don't buy the bullshit of maintainence repair training weapons etc. Even with that it's f****** costly.

Its surprising how indians are crying on the price tag.
First they wasted 8 years in test and trial and then reduced the order to just 36 jets.

Who the hell is on the driving seat on defense procurement in india. Countries with much smaller defence budget than india finalzed deal within year or two and signe the deal.

Look at qatar, uae, egypt etc they knew what they wanted and started getting their jets.
