Sweden builds the engine itself with I think only the engine core is wholly supplied by the US.
All maintenance and overhaul can be done by the Swedes and so with a 6000 hour lifespan of the engine is enough for the whole lifecycle of the airframe...
Gripen E has flyaway cost of 80 million US dollars and that is similar to F-16V.
That “unit price” includes infrastructure, maintenance and a weapons package.
As there is now around a 200 production run for Gripen E from both Brazil and Sweden, anyone else ordering should be able to enjoy at...
Well Sweden sold the Gripen to Brazil back in 2014 and the Brazilians will end up buying something like over 100 of them.
Remember that Gripen is a lower cost but still high performance fighter that has a more modern design than F-16, and so with it's canard delta design will be superior to...
I thiink you need to do a whole lot more research before saying that Gripen is more of a headache than the F-16 for BD.
Once the US gives approval for Gripen engine export, then that is pretty much all the US influence gone as the engine will last the lifetime of the airframe.

You are wasting your time with this troll.
Walton does everything on it's own phones apart from SoC and the cameras that it probably gets from Sony. Motherboard, display etc are all designed and manufactured inhouse.
Even if that is true, look at the state of the economy now with GDP per capita PPP higher than Pakistan and caught up with India now. Economy is also growing faster than India.
There is brand new infrastructure all over the country and the debt to gdp ratio is still around 40% of GDP from when...
Pakistan is unlikely to even move into 2nd world status going by it's economic performance over last 75 years.
India will end up like you describe as a high middle-income country with pockets of first-world status in some states like Gujarat etc.
BD is different as it's culture and unitary...
BD is even catching up with India in value-addition in pharma as the API Park is now up and running.
With BD you are seeing slow initial increase in industrial production but what there is is coming mainly from domestic companies, rather than more of MNCs that you have been seeing from India.
I do not think it is just the education system with a lot of them.
They fundamentally are not smart enough as if they had the intelligence over time they will have learnt the ability to think critically.
Smart people take information from different sources, filter out the "noise", and then...
