I don't know how many of you noticed but we haven't had any pro-Gripen articles since July.
We signed the MoU with Saab in Feb. And then signed the GTG deal with Sweden in June. Until Feb to June, there were pro-Gripen articles and quotes from Saab officials constantly, but after the signature in June end, all articles died. This is part of the GoI rules which prohibit companies from talking to the media when they are under contract with GoI. It was the same with Rafale, only contract related news was released.
The Gripen GTG deal itself was very low profile. It was signed in Singapore between defence secretaries.
