After reading this, I get a feeling that PAF ought to demand money for flying others' aircraft as a marketing fee. Every few years we could be making an aircraft type as combat proven against IAF. Good practice & great marketing.
Oh wait... we did get a very hefty discount on J-10CP. So maybe that is some of the marketing fee right there?
Hi,
Obviously---who would you give your best running shoes to---Usain Bolt off course. Who is a better buyer to project your product---the Paf or the Iaf.
Indeed gripen is a fine fine aircraft and gripen NG at that---the best amongst the very best---an aircraft that saw its development start somewhere in the 80's and with all the technology and funds behind it---is going to play second fiddle to an aircraft that started in 2002-03 with about 450 million dollar budget---. An aircraft that did not even have a designated engine in the early stages of its development and a dedicated EW system when the aircraft was ready.
Hefty discount---!!!
The word FREE would better describe the deal---we can also say---as free as it can be---.
