May be yes but we want best fighter plane not cheap and remember Gripen NG which they offer is only in testing mode. If im not ronge it will come at production in 2015 may be 1-2yr later we have our own LCA-mk2 which is very close to Gripen.Gripen is good fighter jet and cheap... we should have considered purchasing it. We could bend Swedish arm as much as we want and they are also willing to give whatever we want.
IIRC,the swiss air chief or some other high ranking official stated that the Gripen did not qualify.Gripen is good fighter jet and cheap... we should have considered purchasing it. We could bend Swedish arm as much as we want and they are also willing to give whatever we want.
Well the EF version offered to us is also getting ready by 2015 then whats the problem if Gripen comes in 2015 ? Also Gripen NG will enter in production by 2017 but it will enter into production by 2013-2015 if India chooses it. Also we should be a little realistic, EF and rafAle are expensive aircrafts and we don't have money or even if we have we have lot of things, so we should not spend everything in MMRCA.May be yes but we want best fighter plane not cheap and remember Gripen NG which they offer is only in testing mode.

Brazilian Air Force favorite is also Gripen but their government is looking towards Rafale because of their precious deal with French.IIRC,the swiss air chief or some other high ranking official stated that the Gripen did not qualify.

RPT-Swiss opt for Saab's Gripen fighter jets - paper | ReutersRPT-Swiss opt for Saab's Gripen fighter jets - paper
Nov 30 (Reuters) - Switzerland has chosen to replace its fighter jet fleet with Swedish defence and aerospace group Saab's JAS-39 Gripen, Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources close to the government.
Neutral Switzerland has wrangled for the past three years over whether to replace its ageing Northrop F-5E/F Tiger fighters, purchased in 1976 and 1981, with up to 33 new aircraft.
Saab shares were up 8.5 percent to 117.10 Swedish crowns by 1345 GMT after the newspaper report.
The newspaper said the cost of purchasing 22 jets would be about 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.3 billion), 1 billion less than the same number of rival models would cost.
In September, the Swiss lower house of parliament approved a 5 billion francs defence budget for 2013 to finance a 100,000 strong army and the purchase of new fighter jets.
Other bidders included the Rafale built by french company Dassault Aviation and EADS's Anglo-German-Italian Eurofighter Typhoon. ($1 = 0.9207 Swiss franc) (Reporting by Caroline Copley; Editing by Dan Lalor)

Sale bang for the Rafale in Switzerland (updated)
The Helvetic Confederation prefer the Gripen for reasons of price ... against the advice of military
Fernand Carrel, the commander of the Swiss Air Force, regretted the choice of the Federal Council. "All experts know that the Rafale is the best," he said on Radio Suisse Romande.
The Swiss authorities have explained that "financial arguments have played a decisive role in choosing the type of aircraft.
