Is Gripen US export controlled? Can US block sales because of key components like the Volvo engine based off F404?I think the PAF is willing to sell the JF-17 Block-III to the BAF, it's more of a decision on the end of the BAF AHQ. But I think the BAF AHQ is tilting towards a Western jet, and I think the Gripen E/F is the best package on that front.
I found this quote off of Wikipedia. Doesn't this mean export could in theory be blocked like Turkish T-129 to Pakistan?
General Electric produces 50% of the engine. Elements such as the fan/compressor discs and case, compressor spool, hubs, seals, and afterburner are manufactured in Sweden, final assembly also taking place there.
