	I recently read the more expensive fighter of the incoming new 
generation is going to be the french RAFALE. Dassault Industries gives
an estimated cost of 250-320 million of french franc for a standard 
plane, which may be converted to a fork of 40-50 millions of US $.
	Can anyone confirm ?

They said french army would never send a such expensive plane on
combat mission. They wouldn't risk 50 million $ to be distroyed,
even by a one-million $ rocket.
