[Secret Agent Man]

Why was the Gripen taken off the consideration list?

I have a hard time believing this was not contrived and manipulated.

[poinq]

Thats because it comes with free trips for the Brass. And several conferences in nice areas with all expenses paid. Yep, its a good plane too.

The competition................

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

Good news for Britain. We make 15% of every plane, so even if we miss out on the Eurofighter sale, our aerospace industry benefits. I don’t know how it is for the US, but I reckon that having commited to buy less than 5% of the total aircraft built for a 15% workshare, we’ve come out of this with a net profit.

“The comparison was conducted hypothetically– with expert panels comparing the three jets’ functional abilities and economic models developed to tabulate lifecycle costs.” meaningless bs.

[Kickass Conservative]

Since it was a Hypothetical choice, they should have gone with a Galaxy Class Cruiser. The Federation uses them.
