Brought up because Manqiangrexue doesn't want to abide by the rules of the forum and moved into personal attacks, and we should have a venue for continuing the discussion.
Let's start with the J-10, wherein the J-10A was claimed to cost 190 million RMB (27 million USD at current exchange rates) a while back. The rumored costs on the J-10CE is around 30-40 million, but do keep in mind that the smaller JF-17 is believed to cost 25 million or so with its Block III upgrade (including AESA) costing about 32 million.
Gaps:
J-20 has a Chinese claim of 110 million, which offends posters badly.
J-11 cost isn't available on this thread
J-16 cost isn't available on this thread
J-15 cost isn't available on this thread.
Please remember that we're all discussing flyaway costs, not program costs which include R&D and so on. Flyaway costs are only going to discuss the cost of fixed investment (the assemblyline needed to build the aircraft) and the cost of labor and materials to produce it.
