Please read up on the price of 5th gen fighters before making assumptions.
The contract — the third this year for Dassault after deals to sell Rafale jets to Egypt and India - also includes MBDA missiles, and the training of 36 Qatari pilots and 100 technicians by the French army, a French Defence Ministry official said.
It is a package deal and worth the money. Defence deals cost that much only. How much do you think India had to pay for Poseidon and Hercules transport aircraft?
Quality is always expensive. Boeing, Dassault etc are not DRDO you see.
