Radar wont matter as long as not thinking of selling the plane to Syria or Iran
Engine will be the big hurdle - not sure whether US will take too kindly to another competitor on the global fighter market. Gripen actually has a joint Swedish/UK radar and BAE has a big stake in the Gripen programme, and so that may have helped Sweden get export clearance from US.
actually,most countries don't mind if the exported country is a favorable one.lets say,take example of potential export targets...Vietnam,Philippines,Afghanistan,Bhutan,Nepal,Myanmar(may be),Syechelles,Maldives etc.none of these are any threat to USA and they'll barely bother if GE sells few dozens of engines more.but then again,they have some laws regarding exported equipment which might prove a lil hurdle.but they bend so many rules for us,we'd not bet much on it.
topic.....
great news.I'm smelling few orders from Vietnam.Pragati Missile and Akash probably.
