Poland to choose F-16

according to Charles Edelstenne (Dassault) who was on the french radio “France Info” this evening.
He says “I’ve felt that they were much more interested in closer relations to the americans. So it didn’t come as a surprise, and it’s not dissapointing.”

Gripen Internationals Owe Wagermark is not so sure about this, however.
He says “I can hardly believe that. But it’s not surprising that there are rumours about this since the polish president has expressed a wish about buying F-16 even before the tender got started.”
“We know we have the best price, the best financial solution and the most modern product, so something else should come out of this…”
