FX

The tender process for the FX is starting to bore the pants off me because of all the corruption charges and investigation into it we’re no closer to an announcement.

The race to secure the contract has intensified since the South Korean government set a March 29 deadline to complete evaluation and it is looking to name a winner in April (i doubt it!!!).

Dassault’s campaign, has been hit by bribery charges, and the 37,000 troops in korea is also a big bargaining tool for the americans.

personally i think this leaves the door open for the eurofighter as it has stayed out of these dirty tactics and it has concentrated on offering South Korea with one of the best swing role jets around!!
