doesn't have any sensitive material to prohibit export??
the radar is Swedish
the engine is GE-414 Sweden might make it on license, but I don't know if that would prohibit export
sure as a NATO country Sweden wouldn't sell to black listed countries.

If USA impose sanctions on a country Sweden already exported them Gripen
I think then Sweden can't do there commitments like after sales services and exporting spare parts and so on

Since that the discussion has moved away from Rafale and MMRCA, this thread might be more suitable.

No, it has been decided already that Flygvapnet needs 70 Gripen E,
so the order for 60 will get a follow-on order for an additional 10.
The Brazilian planes will be on top of that.
Brazil may lease some Gripen C/D until deliveries of the Gripen E.

The initial requirement for new Gripens stated by the Swedish government in 2012 was 40 to 60 fighters, which later lead to the contract to upgrade 60 x Gripen C/Ds to E level + produce 22 x complete new E's for Switzerland. That's what the Saab presentation showed in 2013, but with the development delays of the E's and backing out of Switzerland things have changed and the recent reports makes clear that 60 new once will be ordered, but not in addition to the current C/D fleet, but as replacements for Gripen C/Ds that should be leased to Switzerland, or now to Brazil, Malaysia or some eastern European countries now. So the total requirement of E's remains pretty much the same between 40 to 60, but it depends purely on export interest how many C/Ds will be leased or how many E's from the order of 60 will be diverted, because Swedish Air Force will not add 60 fighters to the existing fleet. Currently the interest in 2nd hand C/D's seems to be higher than in newly E's that might be costlier now than expected and might not be able to provide the spects that Saab's PR promised. The C/Ds however with the latest upgrades, that includes METEOR and SDB, will be an excellent choice for the needs of most of the smaller nations or as a gap filler.

So when does Gripen E make first flight so Brazil can have its planes?

i be damned it isn't.

It isn't.

 

[C130]

It isn't.

yeah I know
Gripen is like a third rate Rafale
and where ever they end up I doubt they'll see any meaningful combat.

thanks bro for letting me know.
Gripen is third rate compared to the Rafale and I'll add Typhoon as well
and I meant since they visually look the same with the canard

btw your first comment to me was stupid.
jackass

I am sure South Africa will buy more...

I am sure South Africa will buy more...

South Africa can't even maintain the current little fleet of Gripens.

@Horus is it Nishan again?
