The ones of the Gripen procurement for our Duck (short only):
1. Create a breakthrough in weapons, the ability to command, of KQ warfare, even that "enemy" to change the approach, attack, can be compared with the precedent of Kilo, Bastion (this completely 'm not exaggerating) tools billion
+ Gripen be 4th generation mbay + + does not fight very powerful, like the Eurofighter (training solution for the British Typhoon PC) further, small structures very consistent with our traditional form .
+ Create a huge tactical advantage: Western Gripen is kind mbay, features, demonstrations, different weapon than the VK Chinese Russian system that we possess, this is one important advantage, able to create surprise in non-combat (like the American F4 surprises and losses before our Mig 21) This capacity aircraft such as the MiG 29, Su 27 Su 30 does not have to be even.
+ In case of purchase together with Saab 340 AEW, the KQ capable commanders in combat conditions digitized, grasp the war field real tgian (presently commanded by radio, flying away from the sea An 26 to health information, horror backward, but Russia does not have this ability, Train, self-made low) different range there.
+ Other features, such as mining costs very cheap (the cheapest in all kinds of combat mbay always) or short runway .... say and know
>>> The use coordinate Gripen - Saab 340 can fill the gap is quite large with Tau technology of KQ at present, the creation of even more outstanding.
2. For neighbor: but Gripen is kind of versatile mbay but limited weapons payload, moderate range, while the maneuver, maneuver very strong, foreigners can look at that as soon as VK defensive nature, buy put at the North bridging the gap PK. Yacht can not alleged she buy mbay that strengthen border KQ, countries in Southeast Asia also less afraid.
3. The gradual move to buy VK West, can say is inevitable, stemming from the increasing down of Russian CNQP, excellent products such as rubber 27/30 is less, and in many areas there is no ( single celebration of light mbay, the replacement An 38, An 26), of course, this will not be the flagship VK, but meet many needs (light helicopters, heavy, navy, light transport, transport medium .....)
(The master Nga Ngo, business advertising, but in fact the commander of Russia's KQ very poor, based mainly on the A50 backward for decades. During the war with Georgia, the Russian SQ even to mobile users to commanders, pilots bombed a paper map, know that =.
4. Advantage for us when negotiating: The buy VK West takes us from "begging" depends entirely on Russia to accept all terms of delivery, this price can be "decent" negotiations bargain, even bring Russia into place "the tender" such as India, Indonesia, Malai. This is extremely important, KQ or MOD commanders after will remove trapped in the choice of many when walking into a dead end if you stick on Russia (typically replace An 26 there)
5. This is not so important to us today, but completely, Sweden sold mbay for the will is the driving force behind both Western contractors QP, U.S. strengthen lobby the U.S. to lift the embargo (human the right to do with the contract billion)
Tum: the purchase of Gripen is the first arrow hit a lot of the target, the target near both the targets and strategies, (addressing the needs of defense, maintaining the current battle that turned out to be a lot of opportunities in the future hybrid KQ) I personally believe that even if the procurement of up to 80 packages-90mil / unit, it is still worth every penny. And of course, to open the door, the challenge also strategic.
