As I said leasing gripen is a much better deals given our budget conditions.
gripen is lots better than f16 blk30.
migs 35 no thanks.
rafale momey is the problem.

Nah, that usd113mil flyaway cost include production license and rnd. Probably that figure were pick from swiss and Brazil deals.

Lol already say how many time on mkm no longer possible unless we go for full russian stuff.
I dun think we will get mkm foc but it is more on discounted price.
For now not sure what will happen to those migs though.

I dun see we would be benefits from auch deal.
unless we are going for 100+ units mirage for our airforce.
otherwise it is just waste of resource and time.

Based on what you conclude that f16 were far ahead gripen.
gripen avianic system is quite advance compare to the most advance f16.
Mainly the have build around ncw and sensor fusion.

I would avoid buying any mikoyan jets due to its maintenance services and availability of spare. In short their after sale service is suck.
On armaments you still need object code of the missile to install on the aircrafts.
there were also need to mode their source code in order to use US/western missile.

After looking back into several post.
there is a member here indeed putting to much on A vs B.
I dun see any point of such post as it only for the sake of A vs B.
I would delete such post if I come across 1.
The member here are advice to ignore him.

the german try it and they decided not worth it.

currently for long range they might prefer going for atgm.

Well several complaint been made.
