you guys are still discussing it ? dont you guys feel bor ? its been now 10 years this talk is on going here . its far better if you guys discuss current capabilities of BAF rather then gripen mig-35 f-16 f-18 EU fighter rafale j-10 here . even i click this thread after 3 or 5 years i see same talks going on here
It's a discussion forum pal.
That's what we do here.....discuss.
The fact is BAF IS looking for a new fighter.
What its going to be is of course up for discussion/speculation.
In my opinion, the selection of the new fighter is of monumental significance for the BAF.
It sets up the next 40 years in my opinion.
Historically, if you look back BAF was actually interested in F-16 way back in 1999.
Of course the US laughed at BD.
Thats when the Mig-29s were bought as a result of US refusal to supply the F-16.
Things have changed somewhat.
US hardware may in fact be an option. Or at the very least from other Western nations.
Also the economy is certainly in better shape in 2019 than in 1999.
Gripen is DEFINITELY in the realm of possibilities.
The only problem is the apparent tunnel vision by the BAF into looking at only Russian and Chinese options.
