Dassault won Posted by ryan [Email] (#2222) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ryan) on Mon, 7 Sep 2009 19:27:04 In Reply to: I'm with Anders on this one, John in CT, Mon, 7 Sep 2009 12:10:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It looks like they (Rafale) won because France is letting them do a significant technology transfer; something Boeing/F-18 (and I expect the US gov't) and Saab/Gripen were not keen on.
Anders is completely correct though; selling fighters to Brazil is going to be 99% political. Brazil wants to develop their own aerospace industry. I believe the furthest Saab was willing to go was building the fighters in Brazil.
