It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of simplicity. Understand, not everything has to be complicated like the US fighters. Take the F-22 Raptor. That is a seriously complicated machine. And take the Su-37, not so complicated.
Take the F4 Phantom as another example, complicated. The MiG-17,19, and 21. Not nearly as complicated. Also having a complicated machine adds weight, and you want your jet or prop plane as fast and maneuverable as you can. You get better performance as well.
