IAF is very satisfied about Rafale. The availability rate is very high, thanks to a full option contract.That's $232M per plane. I hope that includes lifecycle costs, spares, training, support materials, and munitions for the lifespan of the plane.
I think navy will take the same, so as to maximize the use of a relatively small number of birds.
