With what you mention and with talking to another friend who lives in Brazil (some people here may remember Primer) the Gripen seems to be the favoured option simply because they are offering cheaper prices and larger off sets for the entire program. Certainly the ecconomics would out weigh any benifits to other government run programs?
Perhaps a deal could be struck where both the Gripen and the Flanker could win, the Gripen could replace the aging F-5’s which the FAB could sell off to another country at a very cheap price (gee let me think, what country in South America would buy recently updated F-5’s from Brazil at at damd good price, hmmmm). Maybe this is an option being discussed that we don’t know about?
