Hi,
Thank you for a to the point and clear post---.
Grippen NG upgrade is exceptional in value---.
But it is not a 10 year upgade---. For a JF17---it would be like a 1 1/2 to 2 years at the most---because all the parameters of the upgrade are known.
About 6-7 years ago I wrote the upgrade would cost us around 50 million dollars---. Today we maybe close to a 100 million dollars---.
A simpler upgrade would be removal of the gun and ammo and now you may have a space to place a fuel tank for a reasonable amount of fuel---.
So--
@messiach to get the RD93---what did we do---sign over our first born---?
