Where did you get this info from?
AESA radar on Gripen E can direct missiles at the maximum effective range of the Meteor no problems. Anyway Gripens can be fully networked with the Swedish Global Eye awacs.
Would you trust the UK to not lean towards India with Sunak as PM?
I would not.
Brexit UK is tilting away from EU and India is another large market that UK is interested in.
Again why would Indian care about 16 EFTs when they have 36 Rafales and are likely to purchase 36 more?
Western gear is for Myanmar and China is the supplier of choice for India. No idea when people got the idea that a small number of Western jets will be any deterrence against India from.
You want to really take care of India and get real deterrence till 2050-2060? Buy 2-3 dozens of J-35s when they are ready towards the latter part of this decade with Chinese domestic engine.
The two way data link between meteor and EFT/Raffles are more advanced than between meteor to grippen interface. Let me identify the article and share, there is a qualitative difference.
In war I would not trust anyone but would trust UK more than sweden.
Sunak wont be PM, he is a yes man only there because Sajid Javed had self respect. He can not carry the conservative party and the blip in his popularity went out with eat out to help out debacle.
Patel and sharma are non entities. But regardless I agree with you indians have greater say with UK establishment than BD. But i like to see it another way that only in UK does BD have any say whatsoever with a global power.
Sweden is a non entity they will be pushed to take indian side both by the western alliance and russia through indian connection. Sweden is barely a regional power, BD strategic alliances needs to be with global powers.
