From LM and the Belgian partnering industry in Wallonia*:

Frankly… Not the strong point of US offer… Hilariously their main partner is SABCA (a Dasault subsidiary)

Most interesting part will be retex abou interoperability. Specially bteween these unit that are used to be frontline…

agree mrmalaya.

olitics may also play a role, in favor of a US solution. Sweden is a near neighbor and very important partner to Finland of course, but after the Swedish military has been decimated over many years, I don’t see Sweden ever become in a position to give any substantial support to Finland, Sweden will struggle to defend itself! The only country that can support Finland and provide a credible deterrence is the US. Thus if Finland believes that the US support will still be there (in spite of all the America First talk) then politically it makes the most sense to buy US fighters.

Sweden is strongly rearming. Conscription, remilitarization of Baltic island, reparation of airbases etc.

Given that the F-15C (you know…. the one that has never lost in combat) has never gone above mach 1.4 in combat then m1.6 should be just fine.

Against who? because neither Gripen nor M2k never lost in combat either (as an example)

There is a very significant difference between a plane able to supercruise – or not-. Remember supercruise was part of the definition of 5th gen acording to LM?
