A Hora da VERDADE!

The Swedish technical magazine NyTeknik (only in Swedish) is today referring to an article in the flight magazine Revista Forca Aerea about the Brazilian F-X2 competition. An English translation of the article can be found here.

It seems like the overall analysis in the article is that the SAAB Gripen NG BR is the most favourable choice for Brazil.

Jairo Cândido, head of the Federation’s Defense Industry Department, stated to the press that: “It has become clear that who is willing to make a broad, total and unrestricted technology transfer, and to work with Brazilian companies are the Swedes,” and about the Gripen NG-BR: “...it enables the national production of the 36 aircraft and involves the national industry in the program from the very beginning.”
