Probably best maws other than F35 DAS, EPAWSS for F15e https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/epawss.htm

Al31 FP has 12.5 tonnes of thrust, F100-229 has 12.9 tonnes of thrust.

F15e is over 4 tonnes lighter than the sukhoi when empty, and still has higher payload and equal thrust, not to mention more efficient turbofans.

Not really, even super sukhoi standard doesnt have the electronic capabilities that the EX boasts..

Ex vs rafale Mtow 36t vs 25t Thrust 26t vs 15t Radar is twice as huge and powerful apg 82 v1, epawss.

All new avionics, sensors derived from early Block F35, GaN radar, can carry higher number of missiles (22 amraam)

I dont know man, seems hard to justify $2B was all just software.

Exactly... If you look at the list of reported ISE, a lot of it is hardware like Advanced jammers. Even if one time cost of integration is discounted, it'll still cost a lot of money to procure these subsystems as add ons.. Or do you assume these add ons will somehow be rolled into the base price?

Even extra rafale deal would include spares, PBL, weapons etc. making it much more expensive than just $110m+. Unless you think of sharing weapons, spares from older deal and thinning out operational advantage for each unit which is what qatar is planning to do..

You can't buy any jet under $200m/unit. Its bound to include extra equipment, spares, weapons etc. This is what i have been calling out people on since the rafale deal. Everyone was stupid enough to think that deal was expensive only because it had something super special included that could be...

Stop sidetracking... You were pointing out price as an inhibitive issue... When it certainly isnt so... Any weapon including cutting edge tech manufactured in india is bound to be more expensive than weapons/platforms produced in other countries.. Eg. Su Mki .. Even after paying a premium over...

Aren't brahmos and scalp priced the same?(~$ 3 mil) Also where as brahmos is short ranged ( 300-500km) ... Scalp has a range of more than 1000 km.. Scalp also carries a warhead of 400 kg which is twice the capacity of brahmos at 200 kg.
