Be cheaper than the F-18's/Grippen being offered to Brazil.....Lula was ready to pull the trigger until the Brazilians started crying about the "supposed" price of the French offer...add the pressures from the White House and no sales....

1st sale likely wont be a high profit making event for Dassault...If they saw it as a door to sales elsewhere and took a hit with the Brazilians, we would probably be seeing Rafale's down in Santa Cruz, RJ already.
