Gripens Depart Sweden For Trials In India

Shiv Aroor writes on his blog LiveFist that two Gripens are now on their way to India for the final round of the evaluation for the MMRCA (medium multirole combat aircraft) competition.

IAF test pilots have already undergone intensive training on the aircraft and the aircraft have already undergone the first stage of trials in Linkoping in November 2009, which included flight performance, logistics capability, weapons systems, advanced sensors and weapons firing.
