How much will the Typhoon cost? I have seen some old estimates of $60

Typhoon cost $60 million each when the inferior, yet similar Rafale
costs $50 million each?

There's no fixed price, since each Eurofighter customer is getting a
different configuration. Austria's are costing it EUR 62.9 million
each, which at current exchange rates is about USD 75 million. (Of
course, exchange rates fluctuate, 1 EUR being worth anything between
$0.9 and $1.2)
