600 mn for IL 78 is a joke. I know modification happens and that's why I have mentioned integration cost.Airlines gets discount because of the number of aircraft they order. I am again saying that the cost will almost double the civilian version.
Remember we will need a huge fleet of Airbus Tankers and transport and as Awacs platform. It's mutlirole nature to be used as a tank and transport configuration within days is commendable.
Now the integration cost per piece 400 mn ? I doubt it even if airbus is little expensive than the Russian one its a better dependable aircraft and having one tested proven platform for multiple use is better as it provides maintenance ease and cost advantage.
