Lca mk1a is just 5.2 billion usd for 83 == 62.6 million per jet ( including infra spare weaponry).
I don't think.
Rafale is offered with a 70% disponibility for 5 years. Nothing like that for Tejas.
There is no special deal for Tejas Weaponry, so in your 5.2 billion there is nothing like that.

Marut had nothing to do with Mig 21 Both had different roles.
Due to want of engine it never reached its potential as a fighter bomber later we bought Jaguar and then multirole Mirage 2000.
This way of thinking is what is forever holding the Indian back. "It is this, but not that". Modular and incremental change happens over time. You have to crawl before you can walk. Walk before you can run. Run before you can swim. India wants to go from the womb to swimming with no intermediary steps. I just posted somewhere else, many Western engineering firms have extremely talented Indian-born engineers. How these people aren't bolstering Indian defense is mind boggingly crazy. Why projects get stuck in India makes no sense.

Whatever the crazy stuff you had to say .. point is Marut And Mig 21 had nothing to do with each other. Period

If at that time we had some morons saying that don't buy Mig 21 because we have Marut then am sure 71 would have been a Paki victory not ours.

If it is from 45th, then great news!
May not be fully FOC but their IOC jets getting BVR capable instead, or in process of recieving full software update... If IOC-FOC difference is indeed just upgraded weapons & flight software (other than the refueling-probe ofcourse) then this could be FOC as well.

You understand i'is impossible to be 100% certain.
