It sounded too good to be true. Even just using the equipment for spare parts should cost more than $20,000 per plane.


There were several reports with one stating $20,000 to $81,000 for Soviet Era planes and that France's Rafale would replace them. Kazakhstan publicly put up 117 for sale 6 months ago.

But the Kazakhs would deny it in any case. They are not openly supporting Ukraine and don't want to offend Russia ,so of course they deny.

Russia probably wishes it could get in on that deal and buy some Rafales. Maybe Russian Rafales could dodge Russian SAMs.
