Abt 250 million dollar per Rafale. More expensive then F 22. We can definitely not pay 35 billion dollar for 114 Rafale.

Why a light fighter jet with limited radar range and weapon carrying capacity costs this much?

The package price includes weapons, training, support, equipment and other elements, and it's 250 million dollars per Rafale for the navy, I believe.

but for the air force, if buy 110 aircraft are bought, overall cost would be around 140-150 millions including everything.

THe table on which i seat, these figures are discussed in dollars. 80 mil $ per F35 A, say 100 mil with onflation. 100 of them will cost 10 billion. 200 will cost 20 billion. Far less than the 35 billion for 114 Rafale.

F-35B: with weapons and support included is $150–180 million per aircraft.....
For our UK order it was $109 million per aircraft, for 48 and we are the most senior partner aside the USA.
You need to read more.
Also the US has gone cold on selling any such thing with Russian systems you have.
